a car worth losing to

so im drivin to class, and i happend to speed by a silver wrx at about 55...i didnt wana race...i was late...so speeding was a necessity. i guess he took my actions as an act of aggression cuz he changed lanes and began to speed up. we both caught a red light. im thinkin...man...im not gona win...so screw it...light turns green and i punch it were about even until 27mph..when the turbo kicked in...and he started to pull away..i end up conceding my loss as i was 2 car lengths behind. the subi was pretty quick...but not as fast as i thought it would be...we met at the next light again...to give the thumbs up...but he didnt look over. i took a look inside...and it was an auto...which probably explains why i didnt lose by that much ^.^

Yeah...shoot, an auto WRX must lose MASSIVE amounts of power from the drivetrain to the wheels.

how did you look inside when you're sitting in your car?


anywho, had he 'launched' his car using the AWD advantage it probably would of been worse.

very true...the auto will still be quick (compared to me) i wonder what the numbers are for an auto wrx ? ? :confused:

Either way good race, you should be sittin pretty good once you get some forced induction working.

good race, but 2 cars just doesnt seem right. Your car is a low 16 second car, his is like a mid to high 14 second car.

Good death.

forced induction changes all

nah auto wrxs are weak
they ca manage mig 15s if lucky
the tranny shifts like its taking its sweet time
my uncles got one

haha..wow..I didn't even know there was an automatic WRX.

auto wrx's suffer from turbo lag hardcore. dampachi are you thinking of the wrx sti, that has no automatic option.

Damn silentscream...similair to my jetta death.. Nothing like hearing that turbo..

TSSSWIT...PSSSTT..

Forgot to mention..it aint half as bad as losing to a 89 iroc z that goes... RWHEEEEEEEEEEE...

Nothing like a superchargers cry..
