Default stook vs rex

on the NJ turnpike i saw a dark blue wrx behind me and then he came up to my side both doing about 80...we lined up and downshifted...we both gunned it and it i dropped down to 4th and we were dead even till bout 90mph when i started walking him and by the time i hit 135mph i had multiple cars on him before i shut down...i thought the rex would hang with me better but i guess the awd starts to drag after 100mph cause i started to put a car length on him every 3-4 seconds...in the end when i hit 135 and shut off i probably had 10-15 car lengths...the rex looked stock except for tints and i only have a CAI...well it was a nice run and good thing no cops =)

Good run! That's a huge loss deficit. WRX are much better at launching than from a roll, but 10-15 car lengths is a huge deficit.

Im assuming it was just a regular WRX and not an STi? If so I think that sounds about right, remember they are only 227 hp. Good kill and damn that was a kill 10+ cars is alot, you think he let up after he knew he wasnt going to catch/beat you?
