You know, that raspy, metallic BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAPPPP.
I scoot up to the line, and of course, the WRX scoots up. It's on.
The light turns green and I hammer it. There's wheelspin, of course, but traction control keeps it in check. I was expecting the WRX to get a good launch, but not THIS good. By 30mph he's already 1 car length ahead
; by 60mph it's 2 car lengths; at 100mph he extends it by another 2 car lengths; by 120mph, when I finally give up, he's pulled 5-6 car lengths. 
I mumble, "Hooooooly shiiiiiieeeeeeeeeet," shaking my head. All my dad says is, "Damn..."
All in all, it was fun. Who would've though the E55's first loss would be to a lowly WRX.
