Default finally raced a STI

Well today I was driving around because it is beautiful outside and I see a STI behind me at a light. I'm next to someone at the time so I just aggressively take off to I guess show him what I got. Of course he speeds up and gets next to me for the next light. He had a passenger and he started to rev at me so of course I know its on. Him and his women at laughing while reving. The light turns green and I out launch the **** outta him probably about a whole car length. I bang second and i'm up like 2 more. I hit third and another 2, then I shut down and he pulls a fly by. I pull up to them at the next light which they are turning left on and his girl is laughing at him. I just gave a thumbs up and smiled as the light turned green and we go our separate ways.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to metion that I believe he was stock. I didn't see a exhaust which I guess is the only thing I would've been able to tell anyways.

awesome race, i don't think i've ever read any of your street/strip posts saying you've ever lost haha, it would be a rare thing to come upon with 400+rwhp N/A.

412 to the wheels will definitely wipe the floor with a stock STI. Good kill.

Did the front end look like this?



If not, it was pre '06.

I'd like to think my car is capable of a mid 12. I would have been a much better race for you.

It's protuned (XXTuning in CT) with the Cobb Accessport. I also have a tune for pump gas only (no meth), but I never use it.
