Smoked a CL type S badly
Well this was a bittersweet win for me. Cuz I basically smoked my own car pretty badly. I was cruising on the highway a couple of weeks ago (it was a highway not a freeway so it had stop lights every couple of miles), I'm driving my bone stock wrx wagon. In my rear view mirror I see some hid's coming up fast as it gets closer I notice that its a cls. He pulls up next to me, paces me for about 1/4 of a mile then guns it to the next light. I had been wondering what the wrx would do against a cls so at the light I start reving on him next to me. He looks at me and nods. The light turns green and we both launch. He loses a lot of tire on the launch. I launch pretty hard. I'm pulling on him pretty hard through all gears. By the time i'm in mid 3rd gear i've gotten about a 5-6 car lead on him. I let off @ this point knowing that I'll keep pulling because the wrx is really strong in mid to high 3rd. I was pretty happy with the kill but sad @ the same time.

Its Subaru's new turbocharged 227 hp. sedan or wagon. All wheel drive. It's a performance Impreza i'm guessing. And blx has the wagon.

the wrx vs. type s race would be a little less lopsided if it were a rolling start (where the wrx didn't have a chance to spool up the turbo and dump the clutch in 1st) but standing start/full boost runs are definitely the wrx forte, to say nothing of changing directions rapidly...

You are entirely correct. I think that the race would have been a lot closer had it been from a roll. The wrx is definitely able to launch a lot harder than the type S, especially when you rev to about 4-5g's and slip the clutch a bit. Clutch drops don't seem to work as well, the car bogs when you just dump the clutch.
