WRX does not = trouble?
 

I came across a couple of kids in a red, riced-out WRX. We rode side-by-side for a min., then I heard the fart can roar so I nailed it too. He got the jump on me & pulled out a bit.....about front bumper to rear.
We had to hit the skidz because of a red light. Side-by-side, the light turns green. I pulled on him (thank god for 5 speed & new centerforce clutch) and just walked away. I had the roof open & windows down so all I could hear is the fart machine fading into the distance.
I thought WRX's were fast?!? So, now I'm wondering if it was a cloned legacy or the guy just can't drive the piece of rice crap. I expected to get my ass handed to me. :drive2

328iS, centerforce clutch (bram new), stainless headers with factory exhaust (headers on factory exhaust?........I don't know why........ I bought it like that), K&N, that's it

it might either be that he cant drive or its quick in the begining but after a little bit it loses its edge it needs more power and a bigger engine because a 2 liter turbo is quick not fast

i drove a wrx before, and they are fast and lighter than your E36.

I love bimmers dearly, but i think you might have been lucky on that one.

Maybe the other dirver realized it wasn't wise to street-race :dunno

EItehr that or it really wasn't a WRX.

i remember racing a chipped intake+exhaust wrx in my old 328is...freeway though from 45 and up, he pulled on me pretty well. the guy you raced must of been a n00b or it was a 2.5rs rebadged hahahaha

Yeah, either he sucked or wasn't racing, or it wasn't a WRX

Balance.....your sig is baller as hell

thanks man...for my next m3 i was thinkin about getting dakar. you should shoot me some pics of your new suspension and HID's. how do you like the new rear end too? dhahn@gonzaga.edu

a guy over at tehdriven, lowviscosity made it for me. hes done a few others that are sicker than mine

thats pretty wierd. i rode in an sti with a very good driver behind the wheel once, and to this day i still think that was the fastest car ive ever rode in. who knows what happened. oh well you ended up in front so you win by default. haha

Not all WRX's are STi's.

He probably couldn't drive or shift right. Maybe he needs some classes on how to race.

Or maybe................. He had too much Uncle Ben's in his tank:thud :thud :thud

I'm thinking it was a clone, not realy a WRX. I've never driven one, but I would epect it to be faster.

^^^ no worries tho, coz bimmers still rule. :D

yea wait.

are we talking WRX STI...cause if so..he wasnt racing.

if it was a WRX..224hp. STi is 293 or something like that.

whats a 328 put out?

ah WRX beats me by 2 hp. wtf

328 is 190 bhp
