Default race?

i raced a few people with the supra but i never raced anyone with the S.

i was just playing with this super lap race car that my friends built but that was about it.

Hmm, I raced my friend (marc2). We were both stock except I had a test pipe and I consistently walked him. Other than that I didn't REALLY race anyone.

i race a WRX STi, last week about 2am in the morning... he passed me and did the blow off thing. down shifted and suprisingly i kept up and pulled about 1/2 a car length to 104mph, then he shut down. i slowed down and down shifted to 2nd at about 50mph to get ready, but he wouldn't go for it.

i'm pretty sure he's not an STi. he just got the emblem and put it on, bc i should not have even caught up.

^you can. if he doesn't get his shifts right and you are really quick on the gear change you can keep up. if you're side by side at the end of third gear you stand a pretty good chance to get him in fourth and every wrx/sti that i've ever been side by side with doesn't like to go past 110mph.

dunno maybe the guys i've raced with don't like the top speed. after all, you buy an sti for the accelleration.
