Default S2k VS Subaru STI

This happened about 2yrs ago but good story to tell:

So I was in Downey (Firestone and Lakewood) it was around 10:00pm was riding alone on my way home when I caught a red light. Next thing you know a blue STI pulls next to me. The STI driver had someone with him they both kept looking at me and just talking smack. The light turns green and both take off normally. I knew that they were messing with me but didnt really care since I dont really like running my car. We both catch another red light and the guys are just laughing while looking at me. I started getting pissed The light turns green and we both take off normal excetp this time I kept running till 9000rpm. I shift to second and the STI and I were toe to toe. It wasnt till 5th gear that I was ahead by a foot or so. We caught another red light, this time the guys were giving me props, asking me what I had under the hood. When I told them I was stock they couldnt believe it.

that's great news.... I feel bad for those idiots!

I once raced an S2000 that was stock and I just stayed in 6th gear from 70mph and I was right there with him. I didn't even downshift.... I'm modded on the stock turbo though
