first post and first awd kill

[madeintheshade]

whats up everyone my name is Nick. This will be my first post here.

So i finally got a run at an awd car. It was a 2005 wrx. We ran from maybe 40 to 90 and i pulled about a car and a half. Then from a 25 i pulled about 4 up to 90. He didnt want to go from a dig im geussing because he cant launch.

A decent driver would probably pull a car length on you to about 25 mph. Then you'd have only three car lengths on him by 90. Watch out for WRX's with a FMIC, though!

Nice kill, by the way. Those '95's are great cars.

There is a guy locally with a stupid fast STI, that, oddly enough, as the full WRX "coversion" so its a bit sleeperish. He raced a C6 with some bolt ons once and I'm pretty sure it was spraying, and it was an interesting race.

Start:
-> Scooby
-> Vette

Launch:

Really starting to get rolling:

Around 115-120ish:

End of race:

Step 1: Rev to 3500ish
Step 2: Lift foot of clutch
Step 3: Go.

For launching that vr-4 it would probably be more like 5-6000 then drop it lol

Nice race man. A friend of mine has a wrx and has been insisting on racing me

[superman'd b18]

cassiesman: i wish it were that easy... and yea torched is more along the track of what you really have to do.... launching at 3500, just gets major bogging.....

One day I hope. I raced a modded one the other week but it started at about 30. Would have been cool to see his launch cause he was pretty quick from a roll.
