From the light, if hes a decent stickshift driver, he'll torch you

Take it at highway speeds and ull open a can of whoopass on that Subary AWD... there isnt much acceleration in that car past about 80mph or so... it just gets pretty slow after that

i think u could take him on the highway, on the light id have to side with the Subaru

Stoplight should be close (I think with headers and CAI we should be in the mid to high 14s...I think WRXs are low to mid 14s with a very good driver), Highway we might have a slight advantage from what I've heard.

If his is a manual, a lot will depend on his driving skills. From a stop AND at speeds. Do you have new wheels, because our stock tires suck, and you will get a lot or tire spin at launch, especially with headers. Should be a close one... let us know the outcome.

Oh, and keep it safe.

here's a trick that I want to use on my friend one day. when he's not looking...stick a sock in his intake a couple of hours before the race. it wont hurt anything because the filter is there, plus it should be discrete enough for him not to notice immediately. just make sure he doesnt WOT it before the race or you'll be caught. :devil:

You should say it more natural like, "Look man, I falling for no banana in my Tail pipe!" See its more natural for us brovas...you been hanging out with this dude too long.
