92 Civic DX vs 02 Subaru WRX
well, i was just out cruising around because i didn't have anything else to do...
and i see this WRX with some 17inch wheels, louder exhaust...looked to be 3 inch...otherwise i had no idea what he was running...
so we get onto the bridge, slow to 40mph and i let him take the hit....
big mistake...he proceeds to get the jump and continues to pull on me up to 100mph before he shuts it down...me being 3 cars behind.
so i'm thinking...he got the hit, sounded like he was in 2nd gear...i was in third...wasn't in my sweet spot..with tuning as it is right now...i'll run him again.
so we still have some room left on the bridge...and we're doing 55mph this time...right where i'm starting to make a little power...and i take the hit...and proceed to stay ahead of him as he slowly pulls and finally gets even with me at about 110mph or so...
gave the kid a thumbs up and talked to him as we both turned into the same gas station...turns out he's making 263whp as he just dynoed at mastro subaru...name is alex...real nice guy...i actually got a ride in it back over the bridge and he took the car to 140mph with relative ease...
anyway, his car was much faster than mine...thats just how it goes sometimes.

What does a stock WRX put down to the wheels? Sounds like a quick car.

Yeah, they normally put down between 160 and 170hp. 25% drivetrain loss sucks, but the AWD launches are fun. It's definately not a strong car from a roll but they do decent from a dig.
Nice try Chet, maybe we can finally get our run in at the next track day.

WRX's and me are just for funs. I ran my friends Subaru and it wasn't pretty at all. He was pissed and like fuck I need one of does. But that was on the stock turbo but much has changed. Well at least until I get my new pistons done with hopefully within this month! Glenn asap please.
