Nice runs with a WRX

I caught a light with a blue WRX on Kennedy Blvd he had two passengers I had one his friends ask if I wanted to race I said sure lets go he said he was stock. I just have 96 Z28 with minor boltons and auto which makes my launch good.
We were about to race when I noticed a cop behind us I waived at him not to race and told him look behind us that could have gotten ugly
Well after awhile I saw the cop turn and we got a light no cops this time so we went ahead with the race. He revs his motor to like 5k and when the light turns green he dumps the clutch and gets a great launch he got me by 3ft off the line and when he hit second I pulled about 2 cars it was kind of a short race not even a 1/8mile.
We get another light so he says lets go again this time he got a better launch cause I didnt brake torque my car for the launch he got about a car on me at the end of the intersection then I pulled about a car and a half on him and we stoped cause of a light. He was cool he said earlier he beat a WS6 and something about his clutch starting to go. WRX would make a awesome stoplight race car with a couple mods that would help its pull after second gear.

doubt he beat a WS6 if he is stock.. im a little modified and i cant pull on Formula-WS6 from TR.. but nice runs anyhow.. and your right.. $1000 will make the WRX a great little stop light racer.. but the clutch/tranny is the part you need to be careful with.. people are used to being able to dump it into 2nd gear and chirp the tires.. on the WRX drivetrain if you dont allow a little bit of slippage the slack in the drive train will shred your gears.. specially if you have more power than stock..
i want the RT Spec kit from Cobb tuning.. $4800 and 12 second time slips.. about 320 HP...

I beat a stock WRX twice on 60 and I only ran a 15.1 last time at the track. the ram airs are rated at 13.5

yeah Kyle.. as a stock car.. WRXs are super super impressive..but they have SO much potential..and.. its also how you drive it.. they are a little different to alot of cars..
i drove a Mustang GT a week ago.. blah..gutless as anything.. i havent driven an S4 yet.. but i have driven my friends chipped a4 (220 Hp and 250 Ft/lb) and it didnt feel as fast as my car.. the power comes on alot differently.. he and i have raced on veterens and from a launch.. about even till third froma launch and froma 2nd or 3rd gear roll i pull a little..
WRXs are nice cars with $2000 put in them.. low 13s then.

Hey man that was me you raced. After I raced you my check engine light came on so I pulled over and found out the cap from my boost gauge blew off and I was leaking boost everywhere. I was hearing a disticnt noise and I knew something was leaking somewhere. Either way a kill is a kill. I would like a rematch next time I am in Tampa. I can take LS1s to about 60 or 70 than they start to pull on me pretty hard. 1/8 mile I am usually ahead of them because of AWD than they start pulling. Currently I am bone stock except I removed the intake silencer. All that is going to change very very soon. Either way you got a sweet ride but next time I will give you a good run. Hey Zate hows the car runnin got anything special on there since the least time I talked to you. Its Boosted WRX from I-Club.com. Pm me on there and I can tell you some of my recent goodies!! Talk to you later -KEVIN-
