Post Turbo S2k vs WRX Sti

Dont really have much Info on his car other then it was a wrx sti, i did see an aftermarket exhaust.
As for mine well my sig says it all.
I was running 8 psi
320 whp
220 tq
I was already on the highway, he's pulling onto the highway.
I slow down wait for him to catch up, he pulls along side from me am already downshifted to 4th
i let him take off first he pulls 1 car length on me, i quickly pull along side from him and at this time i think i was doing like 100 maybe?
I dont remember, I shifted to 5th
i was already like 4-5 car lengths on him when i started to slow down.
He was def still going untill i braked.
Let him catch up and pretty much had the same results.
Wish i had my camcorder on me.

ps, my first race with my kit

i had a run with a sti before as well. was in palm springs for a small vacation when an sti comes behind me, rolling at about 35-40 ish i leave it in 2nd so im right in the prime of vtec, he rolls next to me gives me a smirk and he floors it. i slam the gas and jump a half car ahead and stay there up until the middle of fourth where we both back down because of the upcoming red light. when we stopped he looked like he was gonna cry,and just turned off to another road.

I ran against a friend of mine, who has an '05 sti. We're both completely stock and I pulled on him from 30km/h up to 160km/h. Ended up about 5 cars ahead.

I got the drop on the launch and (I think) he initially wanted to pace me, but underestimated my s2000.

He's also had a few accidents in the past (wrote off another mate's m3) and I think he's a bit skittish.

Still..... felt good. I don't expect similar results against other sti's.
