It was like watching automotive porn. It got me so excited it made me want to go out and drive the shit out of my own car.

The question would be if he would still have enough tires and brakes left at the end of the race. The guy could have been working hard on a DNF for all we know.

There is a reason why experienced drivers don't push their cars as fast as they can go for the entire race.

The guy's skills are good though, especially if he can keep the car together for the whole race.
From what I've read on a few other sites, the guy had to start at the back of the pack due to qualifying issues. Most of the cars he was passing were not in the same run group as him so he wasn't really pushing it as hard as the video made it seem, he just had one hell of a superior car.

Scroll down the page a bit and check out the Unbreakable Gear Set.
BAD WRX OWNER!!! KNOCK ON WOOD, KNOCK ON WOOD!!! DON'T EVEN TALK LIKE THAT MAN!! I'm curious though, would you really drive around with a dog box in your WRX? It's alot of work for a daily driver even if you're a non civilian like us.

How much money are we talking here after everything would be said and done? We're talking used or new? Just curious as it seems like a good reply instead of the typical stupid iclub.com reply for one to get a $4000-$6000 STi 6 speed tranny swap.
