1998 MAXIMA SE 5spd <VS> WRX

Me + 350lbs of friends in the car. WRX just driver.

Just after showing a few friends the miracle of a Maxima with a RSB and good tires. (hehe...took um through a wild turn. They told me everyone they had ever seen take the turn I took went into a 4-wheel drift. My Max stuck hard.) Anyways I am chillin after they tell me to never scare them again like that, about to take a u-turn and go home I hear all kinds of noise coming from two lanes to the left of me.

I look left, what do I see but a hooked up WRX. VERY SWEET looking. We weave through traffic alittle, he pulls alittle. RED LIGHT...hehe. We both know its about to turn so we are rolling. I think about 20-30mph(was paying attention to the light) light goes green and I get the jump. Better RT and the V6 tq take me to the front for about 1.5-2 car lengths immediately...not for long...I can hear that TURBO spool up and he passes me very strong at about 80mph. We hit the real highway and he weaves through traffic but I dont bother. Two people and a four door sedan weaving through traffic trying to keep up would have been ugly. So I give up. Had to get back to watch the Sixers game anyway .

Anyways that was Wed night. Last night I went racing. Guess who I see. The same WRX. GUESS WHAT??? I knew the kid. Haha. I had met him last summer and I hung out with him and a mutual friend and we worked on our mutual friend's car together. Anyways I ask him his best ET...13.8 prior to that night. He hit 13.7 that night. pretty fast for the WRX.

ANYWAYS thats my long story. IT was fun. I love hearing a TURBO under WOT.

you thing thats good? tonight i whooped up on an excursion with 4 people in it!! 2lanes turn to one and i was in the ending lane.
no launch and still had 8 car lengths by 60

although i would never want a wrx, there is no denying their performance. way to represent.

MAKE EVERYONE WORK FOR IT, NO EASY RACES.

I know a guy here locally with a silver WRX, he ran a 13.5 with just a MBC. I was stunned. I thought he had more.

because you suck at life you feel you have to make me think im stupid?

good fu ckin job on not street racing anymore. ill give you a cookie for being such a good citizen.

not juvnenile................FUN.

stupid IS being depressed about sucking at life.

stupid IS racing at high speeds through traffic......thats why i didnt do it...i raced from 20 to 80, no harm done...if some old lady was crossing an 8 lane highway with a median in the middle she deserves to be hit. wasnt dangerous for anyone...

ps...i AM a honda boy focker
