Well Zate and I finally ran. It was a friendly race with no cares either way as to who was the victor. (You know...a no worries mate type of thing...hehehehehe) But the loser had to post to maxima.org impreza-rs.com and tamparacing.com.
So Mad Max must have been spanked.
HA! Just figured Id make ya scroll down........
Well it was more or less a dead heat. We were never able to get a light (we were going about 10 mph in a 55 mph zone trying to wait for them to change....) but we did do quite a few 2nd through 4th gear blasts. The WRX was modded with an electronic boost control set at 14.5 psi and the Max has Cattman Y pipe and Place Racing CAI. In every case when we hit it the Max would jump out about 1 car length immediately then would just stay there. Neither one of us could pull away from the other. We ran like this about 5 times up to over 100 mph and the same thing held true everytime.
I was fairly impressed with the WRX as its power on the move is better than I thought it would be. With a few mods his car will be able to suck the paint off Mad Max. But all in all the family truckster Max held his own against the rally bred WRX at least for now. But Im guessing if Zate wanted to he could have clicked that HKS Electronic boost control knob over a few more notches and that would have been the end of ole Max.

Hahahahaaaa... What do you have Some sort of Dead Pool going or something?
You better spend some extra time searching for hop up parts at the junk yard if you think 4sfed has a chance against this little 4X4.
I hope my exhaust fumes dont burn your eyes too bad.
