A friend of mine has had his WRX for about 3 months now. He has always talked about wanting to race me, but we never really got the chance to. I usually work late and so does he. Anyway, I am stopped at one of the main intersections in town and I see him go by. I turn after him and it takes almost 3 miles just to get past all of the cars that were in between us. So, I catch up and end up following him to this deserted parking lot. We line up and go on the third beep.
His car took off really well even though I had a perfect launch. That all-wheel drive really helps out a lot. So he pulls about a half a car lead wich I make back up in the top of first gear (when my tires finally hooked up). I shifted into second and
we were still dead even all the way through second gear. I shifted into third after redlining second, and slowly started to walk him. We were running out of room and I was satisfied with our little race, so I hit the brakes. I was SO impressed with my Maxima tonight. I'm sure some of you guys can relate that sometimes your car just doesn't seem like it is as fast as it used to be. But, when you end up beating a fast car you realize it's all in your head and the power has been there all along. I think we just get to used it's performance (I do anyway). My car just rolled over 160,000 miles and it still runs this good! I wasn't sure if I should keep modding it or not with so many miles, but with it still performing like this, why the heck not!? To top it all off, this was with my stock y-pipe, since my Cattman's getting a new flex put on. Man that was fun. Sorry so long.

Later,

ur friend needs to learn how to drive but good job

 

Believe me, he can drive that thing well. He has been racing cars since he was sixteen. Are you doubting my Max?

 

what ! and my next car was to be a wrx- im sure it was a good race but im thinking 4wd turbo is the ultimate street fighter
STIim coming! well..it has to come here first technically but yeah.

 

either your friend cant drive stick or your car is blessed

 

Arent WRX's in the low 14s stock? Not doubting your Max...just the driver.

 

Yes but they run around 92-94mph trapspeeds. His car is mildly modded so he should be able to hang from a roll with no problem. From a stop it depends on how hard the WRX launches.

 

Maybe he just didn't try as hard as you did. You did redline 2nd??!!! Right??
So...... maybe he "halfazzd" his throttle.

 

I thik maybe your friends'shoelaces got caught on his clutch pedal or something...That WRX shoukd have smoked you.....no offense. They are low 14 running cars......a stock Max isn't playing in that field!

 

What mods do you have on your Max?

 

It's in my sig. Intake, muffler, custom b-pipe, gutted cat. My Cattman y-pipe should be back in a few weeks. Btw, I just talked to the guy today and since I beat him he's going to order a blow off valve and a few other mods so he'll be able to take me. He was as surprised as I was that I won. I didn't think I would win since I have the stock y-pipe. My car doesn't have that pull in the top end like it did before. I just can't wait to get the y back. It was fun either way.
