2004 Subaru STi
Owner: Richard Garcia
Location: Scottsdale, AZ
Website: Dyno-Comp
In addition to having the only all-wheel drive Dynamometer in Arizona, Dyno-Comp's Richard Garcia also possesses one potent 2004 Subaru STi. With over 600 horsepower at the flywheel he's dubbed it "The Viper Killer". With this much daily driven power at his disposal, it's hard to imagine how he manages to hold onto his drivers license! I suspect that his frequent trips to Arizona and Southern California tracks help keep him out of trouble.
| You mentioned the car is called the "Viper killer." Have you ever had any Viper owners take you up on that challenge? | | 
Yes!!!! And it holds true!!!! I beat one on the freeway...60-120mph I had at least 5 car lengths on him.
| What are your favorite features or parts of the car? | |
The staggered wheel offset, rear fender flare and DEFI Gauges.
| What do you estimate is your HP/TQ output? | |
600HP and 600TQ at the flywheel.
| What's the funniest thing someone has ever asked you about your car? | |
Why do you have a baby seat in the car?! Because I do drive it on a regular basis, and I have a 16 month old son.
| What is the next car you would like to purchase/own? | |
Ferrari 360 Modena
| Have you ever modified any celebrity cars/trucks? | |
Many, but we do not usually ask who they are. Example: Ray Durham (SF Giants), Aaron Baddeley (Pro Golfer), Keith Foulke (Boston Red Sox), and many others.
Installing a sequential gear box.
| Finally, would you do it all over again? | |
YES, YES, YES!
