Funny Story

[Gonthrax]

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 :licker:

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.
