but he had 3 people in the car and he didn't want to play.. which is very understandble.. looks like this guy in a RHD Legacy waggon was upset too because he decided he would try to take me on.. had a nice big Grapefruit shooter in the back too.. so i toyed with him to let out my frustration of the WRX.. and i swear some of the times we were going at it he had his car in reverse..

ow well.. maybe i will get me a WRX to race one of these days

I bet you'd run a WRX on the highway. My friend has one, and I've raced him on the highway, my engine is stock. He will pull about 2-2.5 lengths between 60 and my governor at 115 or so. I remember you saying you run a 14.4 or so off the bottle, which is what a perfectly driven WRX will run, except the cut alot of time off the line because of the AWD. So my estimation is that on the highway you will run him. Crack open the funny juice and you will destroy him, but you already knew that. On another note, my friend with the WRX got rearended today, not bad, but bad enough he'll need to replace the rear bumper.

with NOS...now what if the WRX cracks open the funny juice? In theroy, what you're saying also means that a Civic EX can easily take a MAxima.

What I was saying is that he'll probably beat him without the nitrous, and certainly will beat him if he does use it. I'm assuming the WRX is stock of course.

What's the confusion?
