Sorry I couldn't get it on video...

My friends are out here from SoCal. They came in Nathen's STI. It has a downpipe and full exhaust. Well, you know where this is headed.

Did only 1 run as I don't like my car on the streets. Went from a 20mph roll (no nitrous). I started it in 2nd gear for the hell of it, and he was in first. He honked 3 times and we were off. The second we took off I had wished I went from 1st but it was too late. He wasn't getting the edge at all and I knew what was coming. I get into my sweet spot in 2nd gear as I hear him shifting into 2nd and I'm off. By the end of the race (end of 4th gear) I was a car and a bumper in front of him. (we tried getting a run from the light but never had luck)

Originally we were going to have someone video tape it, but he didn't want the extra weight in his car. Oh wells.

you have a cage... you can mount the camera to one of the bars... then it's not that much weight, and you could claim it evens out the race a little...

Good story, btw

^not as good in a race to have a fixed camera it'll only take one view. But i guess you could get most of the race in if you pointed it behind you

But next time forsure you need to tape it, i liked the other videos you've had of your beast, and i hope to see some new ones especially with STI's in them
