Got walked by a regular wrx
I was on I-87 yesterday when a black regular wrx (not an STI) came flying up my ass. We pulled next to eachother at about 80 mph then we went at about the same time, actually i think i cheated a little just so I could win...BUT, he whooped my ass really bad, 5-6 cars. I pulled up on his drivers side and the only thing I noticed was he had a bunch a guages on his piller. It def was not an StI but it sure ran like one

I'd a expect a bigger turbo upgrade... but this is very unlikely on a WRX because the stock transmission cannot hold that much power..
I had a modded WRX and yes they have some tranny problems, but the stock tranny can handle 350+hp. I know from experience.
I am stock and it definitly surprised me a lot when he jumped out to a lead like that, i was in 4th gear at about 6000-6500 rpm's, that is about as fast as my car is getting

Not stock as stated a half dozen times above. No way no how. I have a friend with a WRX. All he has is an intake. Granted, I think he sucks at driving, but I've walked him from a launch in first gear all the way on up to 100+. We've went at it from a stand still and from roll-ons, all with the same outcome. Me kicking his ass. From 70-100+, I've pulled 2-3 car lengths on him.
