I get a little harrassed in the morning by a black WRX...nothing bad but everytime I get close to his car, hetakes off and weaves in and out of traffic and then I always end up catching up with him. We actually park in the same parking deck but he flies through it and parks in a different section. I'm going to talk to him...in a nice manner of course. I'm so darn polite!
Anyway, he sounds like he might have a turbo or something. Having said that though, his car doesn't sound healthy.
With a turbo, would he kick my butt? (see sig)

RE: wrx
All WRX models are turbocharged. The base WRX has 227 hp and does a 1/4 mile in the low 14's at 97mph. Not a challenge for a Mustang GT. The WRX STI has 300hp and runs 13.4 at 102 .(Car & Driver). Just about even with a GT. 0-60 is quicker (4.9 sec)due to light weight & 4 wheel drive.

RE: wrx
You should be able to beat him now... a WRX rolls out the showroom with 224 hp's... if you said he threw a turbo on there it will be considerably higher, but you shouldn't need a supercharger to win the race... maybe just a few more bolt ons IF and ONLY IF he's already turbocharged. If not call him out the office today
