Well, it was bound to happen. I took a major L yesterday. But I expected it. I was on I-90 and I see a purple C4 vette. At the time I was thinking man I wish I was in the RX-7 but the XT should do
Anyway we both take the next exit and get stopped at a red light. When the light turns green I take off to 30 or so just to let him know that I am around Bad move on my part. Before we got to the next light he came along beside me. The next light turned green before we had a chance to stop, sorta like from a 10 or 15 mph roll. Anyway, he hit it, I hit it and I got SMOKED!
I would have to say that was the worse butt whipping I have had in a LONG time. I actually think he would have given my 7 a run for its money. That vette was modded for sure. The way it lurched back and then took off like a bat outta hell. I think if I add some stickers to the XT that say Subaru Power I should have a chance

Well on....

Even worse yet, you did a roll, as opposed to launch, which is where your XT is a monster. Not saying you would've won, but you could've put up a good fight (or even a win) to 30mph or so. Good death!
