I finally have a race story of my own to tell.
I was driving home today from my brother's house. The highway was pretty clear and open...except for a row of three cars (across all three lanes) that were doing the speed limit and dipping ocassionally...I saw this Pontiac Sunfire find a hole and slip through it and I followed him. About a minute later, I passed a MY02 WRX (I liked to call them bug eyes). I had no intention on racing the guy, but he sure did! I know full well those cars are trash when on acceling from a rolling start -- but I guess he didn't know that. He pulls up neck and neck with me, throws his hazzards on (what is this, Tokyo Extreme Racing? :\).
The highway was incredibly clear, I could barely see a car up ahead. So whatever, I rolled my passenger window down, gave him a coundown (from three fingers, two, one, and go). I floored my car and I heard him floor his car and man, by the time I reached 100 (from about 55) I was at least 6 car lengths ahead of the guy. I slowed down as soon as I saw cars. Poor Bug Eyes. From there on, I was just keeping a cool a 65 on the way back home, but Bug Eyes wouldn't leave me alone and wanted to race again. He should know that his WRX is trash when coming off of a rolling start.
But I'd *never* race one off a line, though. It'd likely eat me up.

My buddy has a 02 WRX (with a turbo back exhaust which bumps his hp up to around 270) and we race sometimes... I can take him on long straightaways but when there is cornering involved I'm not even close....
Nice story. IBTL

Nice story curious to know what parkway you were on.
this one time in charlotte, i saw this dark blue max with dark tint and dark wheels. i pulled up beside him at a light and reved my ish. we took off and i took him by at least 10 cars. then i realized the light was still red.
