Something doesn't sound quite right, as in, I feel it should have been closer. Either things aren't exactly what they seem, or you ran into a better than average driver.

So you think the rex had more Mods?

We eat S2ks!
To the op: Nice run. You would have been much better off racing him from a roll, but with as much as he had in mods, it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference.

I'm doubting he has more mods or a professional tune since most tuners would advise him against a BOV and Intake until he's much farther along in the mod-process.

I am going to hold out for the new STI I loved the pics from the Japan unveiling and now I got to have lol.
I am jealous! Should be an awesome car; I love how aggressive they look. Much improved over the 08 WRX.

Buschur swears a 15awhp gain from a CAI intake alone.

On an '06 car, which is quite a bit different than an '05. Besides, Buschur is first and foremost a salesman, it keeps him in business.

Strange... my experiences were different. My car is very mild,
- AEM V2
- Mugen ECU / Denso IR plugs
- Hondata IMG (not relevent)
- ACT clutch/disc set
- stock final drive
- Mugen header (AP1)
- stock cat w/ Spugen Dual exh + Ti cans
My co-worker's WRX has the stage 2 Cobb kit installed and it wasn't close from a 20mph roll on out, I'd easily pull ahead before we shut down.
Also a WRX in my POV isn't really fast from a stop, it's more of they move off first because of better grip. Fast from a stop would imply in my perspective that a car with a reinforced chassis twists (or tries to twist) itself apart coming off the line.

well this turned into a nice discussion huh. heh
well the guy said that he had alot of awd experience so im guessing the he was a good driver. he also had carbon fiber trunk and hood so he might have had more reduction dont really know though. umm.... think some fuel system stuff but im pretty sure that was it.

And as for racing your co-worker from a roll, try it again from a stop.....different story. Each car is going to have it's strong points.
Racing from a roll is like masturbation, no matter how good it feels.......it's still not sex.
