I lost
to an ~2003 Subaru WRX. I talked to the driver after, he said something about stageII.
I heard him reving and then he dropped it. It took off fast. He took me hard off the line.... and kept going. I was redlining first then getting up there in second when i gave up. (not a lot of room). I knew i was going to lose. I just wanted to see how bad it would be. AWD is king for launches.

those cars put everything down off the line. On the highways i'm confident i could have taken him. I still thought it was going to be closer.

ive raced my friends 04 WRX with i/dp/14lbs wheels/cobb stage 2 when i was stock from a 20-110 roll and it was dead even. then i raced an STI with exhaust/BOV/?? and a passenger from a 75-120 roll when i had intake/exhaust/plenum spacer and was also dead even. WRX's are no joke especially from a dig but they are still good till about 80-90ish mph.
