Funny Story

This happened a few weeks ago and I just now rememberd it. Just thought I'd share.

The name of this story is:

They day an SHO smoked a Rexy

A friend of mine has a new MY02 WRX, its his first quick car so of course he thinks its the shiznit. I fear he is on the verge of becoming a boy racer but that's besides the point. Any how he thought he be a smartass and jump on this Tauris, well I conveniently forgot to notify him that it was an SHO. Well, it smoked him and I just thought it was pretty darn funny....

Ok I'll be quiet now :D :licker:

youre kidding me right? i got a 2.5 liter impreza and i outran an sho at the dragstrip, by .4 seconds, it was the newer v8 model. i raced the older v6 sho on the street and god, that musta embarassed him :devil: your friend needs to learn to drive that thing! i mean he has a wrx and i dont, he should AT LEAST be able to keep up with me!

yea, his launches do leave a bit to be desired. But what can I say, I try to give him friendly advise, he just doesn't listen :(

tell him to try this... rev to redline or nearby, drop the clutch, then immediately push it back in and drop it a 2nd time, with your foot to the floor the entire time. ive competed in many a race in my impreza, thats the best method ive found. i know it sounds like a dumb idea, but ive got documented proof, after practicing to get the timing right on it ive gone from running 14.2s to 12.9s and thats on a 1000ft long strip not a 1/4 so thats why my times seem quick.
