Subaru WRX hmmm... (real racing question this time)

Ok, so I've been flaunting the victory in my sig for a while, but I am wondering how well the Subaru WRX should do compared to my car.. . I estimate around 170 Hp and 250 Tq with my free mods... The WRX is 227 Hp and 217 Tq

I would assume he could do better, you think he was just a little rich boy who couldn't shift to save his *** ?

This guy was asking for it, his goal was to beat me to the merge in the lanes... he sat there revving before the light changed, if thats not a challeng I don't know what is... he was revving high, but I'm sure he wasn't shifting right...

I have seen time after time people who just dont understand how to race(not drive) a stick. Thats my guess.

the wagons are kinda slow...the 4-door WRX is good for low 14's stock...people look at it and think "oh just another slow ugly import" well...they aren't all that slow...the wagon though is slower due to the weight...

If you beat the WRX its because he either was not racing or did not know how to drive. By all means he/she shoulda won.

I agree completely... why can't I get any other races... I drive plenty agressive like and I have a CD player... I'm sure you can hear my music from outside of my car... I guess I'm just that scary looking... maybe its the gutted cat and great intake sound AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Probably the bit of grey primer showing through on my doors and the hick stigmata surrounding the thirdgen, people seriously give more looks to the 2.8L stock Camaro on campus... I just can't win.

ChillPhatCat, this guy will rip your head off in a straight line. If he does any turbo work to the motor, watch out! I hope you know not to challenge this guy in the rain.

I ain't crazy... to tell the truth I've never topped 100 MPH and I have yet to go over 80 in my Firebird... I do like the lines of the WRX personally, but it's not worth the money... you get so much more bang for the buck with third gens...
