Well honestly I really was not raping the car hard. I am scared to break the trans again, as it is number 3.

The guy in the STI was simply raping the car. The first race he launched (the vid screws up but you can tell) right from redline (clutch drop). He powershifted every gear. There was someone coming behind us so there was no time to prep, just stop and then take off. At 30 degrees with the tires cold my car didn't exactly launch well.

I dunno, that STI just seemed to run a hell of a lot better than your average STI, and he sure didn't run a 13.50 there

Oh yeah, he was definitely quick! If he's not running any true engine management with those mods though, his car isn't running right. I predict a much shortened turbo (and possibly shortblock) life out of that one!

If I'm not mistaken,regular wrx's run mid 14s at about 94-95mph.Ive driven my friends wrx and while quick out of the hole,it really falls flat once you get to about 80mph.Still a cool car though.

Wha?

The car wasn't stripped, and he had it for awhile before I raced him.

I think you are getting me confused with someone else.
