Just Ran a WRX in my 2000 Celica

I have Intake and Exhaust
my friend's WRX is stock.

we lined up on a deserted road and ran

on the launch he took me by 1 car length immediately.

by the end of 1st he had about 2 cars on me.

2nd gear was about even.

3rd gear I pulled back within one car

4th gear I passed him at about 100 mph


so a stock WRX and a I/E GTS race goes like that... after he gets his booast controller, I won't be a worthy opponent anymore
we also discussed our gearing... his 3rd gear goes till about 93 and 4th till 132
whereas my 3rd goes to 88 and 4th goes to 112. this sorta explains why I pulled in 4th

Good job, I've raced a WRX but haven't raced a Celica GT-S yet. Well I raced an old GT-S but they only had 130hp so that doesn't count.

He used to have a Maxima, or maybe he saw a max while they were racing.
