me vs. wrx/ me vs. mr2

ZackKVtec · #1 03-26-2006, 09:00 AM

So I went to a car meet in worcestor, MA yesterday. I went up with a heavily modified wrx, and a wrx with just exhaust and short throw. So on the way home i get lined up with the non-heavily modified wrx at a red light, so i look at my buddy and go "see you at the next stop-light." Light goes green, i get a little wheelspin, pull about a half a car, and then his turbo kicks in and we even out. This went on through three gears and we cut it off at 90, where we were still dead even. Very good race.
Later on that night some kid in a loud ass 89ish mr2 pulls a U-turn and gets behind me on at a single red light, so immediately I'm thinking, oh boy here we go. So light turns green we both take a left, and he floors it past me, so i floor it and he just keeps pulling. Then we pull up to a light and this is what happens.

"hey, what's done to that thing?" - me
"nothin." - wierd mr2 owner
"...." - me
"yo, you got a gsr, let's race" - wierd mr2 owner
"....." - me

So the light turns green and we go. That mfer had like 2.5 cars in first gear on me, then i started to gain and by 65 we were even, when i shifted into third i just walked him pretty hard. We pull even and discuss.

"What the hell do you have in that thing?" - me
"Intake and Exhaust, stock 1.6" - him
"You gotta be shitting me." - me
"You got some pretty good top end" - him
"Yeah, I'm supercharged. 6psi." - me
"supercharged gsr!?" - him
"yep, be safe man" - me confused out of my mind how a stock 1.6 pulled on me like that

He obviously had the supercharged MR2. When they came out they were the fastest cars from 0-30mph. Definitely dangerous from a dig, but have little, to no, top end. Good kill.

Sounds like some close runs. I love those. Keep em' coming.

how come neither of you guys never heard eachothers supercharger?

ZackKVtec · #5 03-26-2006, 08:41 PM

This kid had like a straight pipe on the car, it was blaring loud, and all i could hear was my supercharger, barely over his exhaust though

Nice races.

That WRX driver obviously could not drive. Must have bogged his launch to have to catch up off the line.

ZackKVtec · #7 03-27-2006, 05:22 AM

i think he was probably just taking it easy on his car for the launch, he definetly didnt rev up to like 4000 and drop the clutch or anything like that though, thats for sure

Right_LiRrr · #8 03-27-2006, 05:32 AM

Well...if you slip the clutch with a 4krpm launch, it's still pretty safe on the tranny. To have boost lag in first gear is pretty weak driving skills. WRX's are bloody fast in first.

maybe my buddy isn't the best driver but would you really expect a turbo to be as responsive as a supercharger, given the fact that i only had a little wheelspin? but maybe you misunderstood me, when i said half a car i meant his headlights where at the back of my front door, and by the end of first our noses were even.

My dad went to college there. I almost went to college there. I can all but promise you we are the only two people here that can pronounce Worcestor properly.

Good kills too. Always fun to get a nice, close race.

Would you really expect a FWD with a bit of wheelspin to beat a AWD off the line?

It's not that I don't believe you beat him off the line, I've seen and bogged my own wrx, and when they do, they feel like hyunda excels driven by grannies. He didn't drive it well on that run, that's all I'm saying.

And what's this got to do with responsiveness of turboes? if it's manual it's not even a factor.

You cheated, but yeah, it sounds like wooster. But in true Bostonian speak, you turn the er into ah. So while its pronounced wooster propperly, it sounds like woostah.
