couple runs with the WRX

I had a couple runs against the WRX, and found out that provided a good launch and driver, you can beat the WRX:
Won 2 Lost 1 Best out of 3

with a passenger in the WRX:
Won 3 Lost 0 Best out of 3

with him a good launch and me as well:
Even 1 Won 1 Lost 1 Best out of 3

From a roll @ 15 mph:
Won 3 Lost 0 Best out of 3

Bad launch by me :
Won 0 Lost 3 Best out of three

The conclusions I come up with is that the hp and torque of the CL-S beats the WRX if almost equal weight, or closer to each other aka with the passenger. Also over distance if you are behind, you will gain on the WRX easily when u move up to 80 mph and beyond due to pick up in speed and using your weight as a factor . With his AWD, its hard to not squeal on the launch, but minimizing the spins of the wheel, will make your car successfull. Also from a roll, the CL-S wins due to no spinning of wheels

BTW is car is stock as well as mine. Im looking to get intake and headers soon, so that will help me more. Hes looking to take out some catalytic converters (3) he has in his car, and that pumps out more hp. Who knows, we shall find out later. The temperature that night, was 58-60 degrees, according to my temperature on my dash.

we did quarter miles and half miles, distance helps with the CL-S, it kicks wrx ass over distance.

good idea BSK181

i think i will do that next time, he doesnt know when to shift on his car, plus he has lower redline rpms

thanks for the suggestion

i raced with my cousin's manual WRX and I can beat him too. But he's a shitty driver, if the driver knows how to drive, the WRX should take us.

yup if they can shift good and faster, we are screwed STOCK wise. however if u get intake and headers, you probably then can beat a WRX if they stay stock

EASILY my friend, auto WRX sucks ass, manual it all depends on drivers and weight, and good launch or not.... Take him easy, but kill him by 10 car lengths hehe

AN AUTO WRX IS NOTHING, MANUAL IS
