Owned by a WRX

I was on my way home from school yesterday and pulled up next to a black WRX at a stoplight. It had aftermarket exhaust and no visible STI badges, so it was prolly the 227hp version. Anyway, he just accelerated normally from the light, and I floored it, but he still had a car length on me :( Pretty sad, eh? At the next light we actually raced, and he had buslengths on me. We then did a couple 50mph rolls, which I lost, of course. The guy was real cool, and we waved and went our own ways.

It was fun getting owned LOL, btw, this was in my camry

You should have killed him. I'm sure with an intake he wouldn't stand a chance :evillol:

no offense, but...

everyone knows a wrx will kill a camry (especially the 4 cyls).

What makes this story interesting?

Yes. WRXs probably weigh less and have a lot more power. Samandiar has the advantage off the line because his car is FWD and we all know how much AWD sucks off the line. The WRX can't stand a chance against his 4 bangin' monster!

I thought it was funny that he raced a much faster car even though he knew he would loose. And TypeS was obviously kidding :p.

Are you kidding me or what?????? AWD will kill FWD or RWD off the line every time. How can two wheels putting the power down be better than 4???? fwd sucks big time in anything over 180BHP cause the wheels just cant put the power down efficiently to be effective above that power, and RWD will just smoke them tyres.

What are you talking about man. FWD is the shit, esepecially in high speed twisties. You'll never experience wheel hop or torque steering with FWD cars!

hmmm 4wd vs. RWD...........i'd say the only way RWD would be able to keep up with 4wd off the line is with slicks. those do absolute wonders.

Yeah, I know FWD 4-cyl Camrys are crap, but how could i resist being a dumbass and racing him. I dont take this kind of thing too seriously, so it didnt hurt my "ricer ego." My car is totally stock and I think it weighs like 2900 lbs, so I did have a weight advantage, but DEFINITELY not a HP advantage

Hmmm, 115hp, no torque, vs 227hp......

I have to downshift to 3rd to make it up a slight hill on the freeway near my college.. pathetic, wish my Omni worked

Sell the Camry and put the money into the Omni. The Omni kicks arse

someone doesnt recognise sarcasum... :disappoin

:uhoh: FYI RWD does best on the line and FWD rules from a roll. that camry should have killed the WRX. AWD sucks at everything, traction controll, you name it it sucks. why do you think they need so much more HP. its not about how much powered wheel contact you have. its all about who has the loudest exaust and the camry clearly wins there :banghead: . i think he just doesnt know how to drive :nono:

another who doesnt completely recognise sarcasum, of course TypeS was being serious. this is a very serious message board. as serious as most honda tuners and 2fast2furious...

i think typeS is serious...I think the guys who are replying with the "serious" posts are being sarcastic too. i've done it just to play along. and to get ppl to say "dude, he was just kiddin'"

good lord, so much sarcasm, people being sarcastic about sarcasm, damn, im confused. That Omni, by the way, has given me so many problems that I havent had any money left over to mod it, so I just got sick of pouring money into it and im selling it.

My parents gave me the Camry because they felt sorry for me, lol,

plus, my go-fast cash is going into my lincoln
