STI Pull

About a week ago i was coming home from Naples Fl on I75. I was almost to the first Brandenton exit when i saw hids coming up behind me fast. It was a new STI, stock and filthy. She kept reving and giving short burst of acceleration next to me. I rolled my window down and told her to go on the third honk from 70. :::honk:::honk:::honk::: We both took off. Automatically she pulled about 4 cars on me. Once i got to the end of third she wasn't pulling anymore. When I hit forth at about 110 I begun to pull back hard. Vtec hit in forth and it was over for her. I pulled about 4 cars. She gave me a dirty look and got off at the next exit. I guess STI's aren't very fast topend, because my car feels kinda slow around forth gear.

nah, the gearing on those STi's isn't meant to go that high.

hitting VTEC in 4th gear? You had to have been going 120+

Most STI in High end starts to lose power but their low ends are pretty quick from what I've heard but anyways good race
