So, last night the weather was very nice, around 62 and almost no humidity Went to watch Bruce All Mighty, and after, stopped by the local cursing strip... First lined up against a red SS with 2 guys and a girl on the back seat. Guy starts going "wanna go??" and laughs.. I say "Sure, it's only a 4 banger.. " Well, I had a perfect launch with neck braking grip and put a car on him almost instantly. A quick shift to 2nd and hit the boost controller switch to the "Maximum Power" setting and stepped on it. By the end of 2nd I had 2 cars on him and still pulling. Shut down around 70. He stopped next to me and asked what I had. I said "Only exhaust and boost controller", he goes "Damn, that thing is quick", so I replied, "Thanks, it is for a 4 banger"
Next was with a 300ZX, but somehow it didn't seem to be the turbo model, because I smoked him pretty good.
Then, when I was getting ready to head home, I see a set of very bluish headlights approaching very fast. I said "S2000 or Beamer". So I slowed down, well, it was a nice silver EVO VIII. Dark tinted windows, but I saw that there was at least 4 teenagers in it. They started to jump and slow down. I said, OK, here we go... lets see what the EVO is all about... Dropped into 2nd at around 30 and gave him 3 honks. He didn't get it the first time, so I tried again. On the 3rd honk, I stepped on it, and so did he. It was a very close race, but by the end of 3rd, he was starting to pull away. Not bad for my "almost stock" WRX. I lined up next to him at a light, but he wouldn't go. Anyway, all in all a fun night... I'll be getting some videos tonight, hopefully some good runs

See ya all
Dennis

I'm guessing the red "ss" was a newer camaro?

Nice runs! With four "people" in the car, the Evo still pulled? That car is pretty quick. It's got a few ponies on you though. Not for long I suppose?!

I assume your WRX wasn't the STI model right? The STI shoulda beat the EVO VIII with 4 people in the evo (assuming Stock for Stock).

Good work though!
