Maybe with mods he can keep up with you, but a stock WRX or even A stock STI is not fast on the highway. After the 1/8 mile they are threw. The AWD really slows them down. I'm willing to bet you could beat a stock STI on the highway, believe me they are threw after the 1/8 mile. Even in the 1/4 mile the stock STI's I see run turn from 13.7-14.0 at around 100-101 mph. They are all about the take off. Now once they start modding it is a different story. But stock no problem.

He probably had slicks all the way round and it was 20 degrees outside and his car weighed 300 pounds lighter than most WRX's.

Sad thing is, I've already maxed out my upgraded injectors and fuel pump heh =/
Dave is so right too, my car is as slow as can be right now because it's parked up on a lift in Gaithersburg =(

STi's are fast enough to be used as unmarked Interstate cops in Portugal. I found that out last weekend... luckily I wasn't driving though. It was a 120 Euro (About $135) fine that had to be paid on the spot. Doing 160kmh in a 120kmh zone is not a good idea.

RE: Ran a WRX
I see all this talk about a 99-04 Mustang GT losing to a WRX or WRX Sti in the 1/8, but after that a GT will pass it. Well if thats true, than hows come a stock GT runs low 14's in the 1/4 and Sti's run low 13's and WRX's run high 13's. From a dead stop or roll, I doubt my GT could beat one, but on the other hand I've been neck and neck with an EVO from 75 up till about 115.
