Default WRXs are quiet fast.

yesterday i was coming home from one interview and faced a blue wrx. It seems like he wanted to race, but for me it's not worth it to get a tkt and in accident as i don't have a job; won't be in my best interest. But I was just messing a little without going crazy. He pulled crazily and i stepped maybe 80% of full trottle and damn, he was moving at the same speed. I was not gaining any distance on him. Then i just shut it off cuz it's not worth street racing. I have more important things in life to worry about. :-)

The guy probably thinks he got me beat. hehehhe. I guess if that's what he wants to think...

yeah, WRX modded can be "quite" quick...

I raced a modded one, it was sponsored by Greddy, so had all the Greddy goodies, front mount (assuming aftermarket turbo), etc.

Well, I was in third, and did the back and forth next to him. He downshifted and just shot out like four to five carlengths ahead. I was like, "DAMN!!!" But, the cool thing for me was that he wasn't pulling too hard after like 90 mph, and the 6-7 car length lead was kept till about 120mph. I'm guessing he stopped racing, but anyways, it was interesting to see that thing shoot...
