Default 187'ed a WRX 15 mins ago!

Just got home from mission INN and a stupid retarded WRX kept BOV-ing..... me
Dropped to 5th and when i looked down, 112mph.... on the speedo.

I shouldn't have because it's dangerous but it was wide open....
I felt bad for theWRX because I thought those cars were faster than the S....
The turbo lagged made it difficult to keep up with vtech....

I know nothing about encounters....
which cars are faster than the S on freeways?

I keep hearing crap about the WRX & EVO...

Whgat's the truth?

They are fast. Faster than the S? I don't know. It depends on the driver and the condition of the car.

06/07's are a different story.

My stock S couldn't hang with my 07 WRX Wagon.

if it's an 04/05, you should be able to take them.

I was coming home from the club one day on the 91, some "fixed" up WRX pulled next to me...downshiffted to third and I walked him by like 2 cars, and he couldn't keep up. We did it again this time w/ 3 honks and I took him again, the 2nd time i didnt even take it to 9grand.

Sounds like BS.

06/07 more TQ same HP.

My last car was a rex, and trust me they aren't as fast as the S. The sti on the other hand are very fast cars. But you'll hardly ever find a turbo car stock. Not an sti and not an evo.

And if you cant drive your S as faster than your wagon, its usually the drivers skill level. You simply can drive a honda like the s2k the same way you would drive a wrx.

It takes more skill to drive an S2k, as we dont have the luxury of low end torque from a turbo.

And OP.... wtf are you talking about turbo lag? If your going highway speeds turbo lag is not a factor.
