13.7 is pretty stout for a torque monster. [sm=smiley20.gif]
Thanks, I'll be hunting skittles before you know it - NOT!
If you can do that 13.7 consistantly you'll handle alot of the skittles at the track.

They do seem to be a hand full off the line. I've driven in a soon to be former coworkers that is modded quite a bit and that is his biggest complaint. There was one running on Friday that looked stock and I think was running low 14s. From the couple runs I saw he looked to be figuring out the launch some what.
Later I lined up with what looked like a newer WRX. I got out on him at first then he passed me around the 1-2 shift, I hung with him briefly and after the 2-3 he had about 4 lenghts on me at around 1000', then he braked hard enough that i caught him at the line. Looking at it earlier in the lanes he looked stock as could be but seem he his keeping his potential to himself. Probably one of them there street racers:-)

They aren't the easiest car to drive. But throw some slicks and a big turbo on them and they'll hit 11s pretty easily. But for every fast skittle you run into you'll see 3 of them at the track running 14's. You should be a pretty good match for a stock or lightly modded one.
