Got into a good race with a WRX

Pulled up to the light in GB on the way home, and there was a black wrx sittin there. Light turned green and we took off, I could hear his car makin that purging noise as he shifted. I roasted him pretty good though. I went to about 90 then let off. He didn't even do the famous ***** fly by. He must have had his turbo really upgraded or somethin, becuase the purging was really loud. He was actually pretty quick for a *****.

probably what he had was an aftermarket blow off valve. this vents unused boost during shifts. *****s LOVE this mod. they make it work ever chance they get. i think they think its intimidating. personally i think its annoying, but alot of people like it.

What made him a "*****"? The fact that he drove an import..?

Evading the filters annoys me. Keep doing it and I'll give you some of this...

lol @ deodorant.

Dun worry, Inwo, I just was curious if the fact that the car was an import = ****.

I agree with you 100%. WRXs have the performance to back up their looks, the STi has the numbers to back up its wing. That is not ****. **** is a guy with a stock civic who tries to make his car seem like it is some super amazing speed demon and tries to race everything with wheels. A body kit alone does not **** make.
Venting to the atmosphere on a stock Rabbit might be considered ****, or on a 2G DSM with no supporting mods (such as an aftermarket computer, it screws with the maf readings doing that stock but I digress) I am not sure how the newer WRXs react to venting to the atmosphere, so I cannot comment on it, but the fact that he was driving a WRX does not necessarily mean he was a "*****" as some people think everyone with an import is.

Not **** because he was driving an import. I respect alot of imports. **** because of the loud *** perge valves and annoying exhaust. No, I don't think every import is ****, and this one wasn't as bad as most. At least it wasn't full of stickers and stuff.
