Default Stock S2K VS WRX

On my way home from Blockbuster as I was merging on the highway I spotted this Silver WRX. I am not a fan of WRX's but this one was slamming. It was silver and it looked as if it just came from the body shop. It was shining like a motha. It had rims, it was dropped and had a body kit, real nice.

Well as I merged I got next to him and I dumped it into 3rd. Off we go, however this thing must've been MAD BOOOOSTING. This WRX took off before my eyes. I hit about 115 and it was maybe 3 cars and pulling. So what can I say. I stayed behind him after playing catch up because i wanted to get another run but the lanes were too busy

79monte, as you can see I have raced to high speeds, won some, lost some, Just that sometimes I think its smarter to back off a race when there are cops around...

I dont mean to start another controversy here but he had this comment coming.

you got to watch out for those cars. with very little money you can make them go. three of my friends have wrx's, one with a turbo XS stage 4 kit on it, one with exhaust, up pipe and down pipe, and another that just ordered a visnue (not sure how to spell it) stage 2 kit. not sure how fast the visnue kit is but the turbo XS stage 4 is f@%#ing fast.

Hah... I once pulled about 3 car lengths (until I killed it at ~100mph) on a stock WRX, while pulling a fully-loaded pop-up camper...

But ya, a WRX with a little dough is hella fast. Watch out.

Oh! The sacrifices we must make!

To think we must resort to FI... what has the world come to?

yeah, he said that it was comparable with the turbo xs stage four. im pretty sure the turbo he got is a VF30. can't wait to see it in action.

My friend has a WRX I raced him when my s2k was stock and he couldn't keep up past 2nd gear. He said that the turbo took to long to spool up so when I hit vtec I pulled away.
