WRX does not = trouble?

[NavyL7]

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.

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

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

[RSF5]

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

[Montizzle 325i]

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

[BaLAnCe17]

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

[chris325i]

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

[drz]

Not all WRX's are STi's.

[elsabor67]

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

[NavyL7]

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

[celsdogg]

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

[Numark318i]

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

[drz]

328 is 190 bhp
