finally beat something a LITTLE more worthy..
my old buddy hits me up last night saying to meet him at our old workplace to see his new ride.
doesn't tell me what it is, so i try calling it - a 2008 silver wrx. he says NO. i'm like damn, go up there.
its a BLUE 08 wrx. ************, haha.
real clean ride, lah-dee-da, lets race.
his rides stock, my mods in sig, no tune yet
geneva rd, 35-40 roll (ppl behind us, can't stop)
pretty quickly have 1/4 car on him. top of 3rd abou 90ish i'm a full car ahead!
haha, he was pissed he lost to a new cavalier essentially, but i thought he would win, i didn't know it was 3200lbs and only 224 hp...
CLIFF NOTES: **** off, just read above
so now my kills worth mentioning:
350z
wrx
modded 03 wrx
big turbo 98 gsx eclipse
thats all i can remember

Nice kill, not to good of a race though considering he's probably only putting in the high 100's for whp so you should have beaten him
But good race non the less

Ya the new body style with only the 225hp powerplant are slow.
I raced a 2011 with 265hp, he got me by about a car, that was with my old motor tho...now i'm sure I would easily walk a stock WRX.
Good race tho, you think he is pissed he lost to a "new" cavalier, you should see how pissed people are when they lose to a Sunfire, the "Girl" version of the Cavalier.
HAHA

I never see any decent cars on the highway to mess with. One time I saw a magnum, rt/srt can't remember, but I had my son in the car. He wanted to mess around, kept reving but I held off trying to be responsible. Just remembered there were 2 NSX's on my way back from NY, just having my meth tune done I had to play and they weren't pulling away. I figured they had a lot more then what they really do. Honda's Ferrari competition, I think not....

Yea the 08 WRX is kinda of a slug. For whatever reason they put a baby turbo on it and then switched a larger turbo in 09. my buddy has an 08 with tbe, intake and tune and i would mega lengths on him when i was on stock turbo with bolt ons and tune.

interesting, I think you should have crushed it by alot more.
I ran an 08 wrx with a stage 2 cobb tune.
I was stock at the time and we did it at the drag strip. Heres the terrible video. lol sorry about the quality.
I was on a stock tune but I had a downpipe, charge pipe, and an intake I think but still made factory power.

yea i didn't know they were that underpowered at first, just my buddy and wanted to race, probly thinking he can beat a balt to wipe the smirk off my face
rofl thats funny yea i should hit u up sometime to cruise except ur much faster than me. nice kill with the lotus, reminds me of when i first got my buddys 350z the night i gt my car that was 3k cheaper and 3 years newer and 60 hp less!
im stock. injen, bad mab, rotated mounts, and h/e
well you have a turbo model, i'm supercharged and stock, so the power weight ratio of my car is only a smidgen better than the 08 wrx hatch.
~stock balt 205/2900= 14.14
~stock wrx 225/3300= 14.66
