Didn't race a WRX tonight...

Heh heh. Thought it would get that kind of reaction. I'm a "double deuce" sort, except I put my whole body into it, If anyone's ever fenced, it's how you're supposed to lunge, kind of explosive movement; leg out first, stomp, arms snap forward at the same time as the foot.
I generally don't race people, but tonight a Toyota celica was riding my tail all the way to my bar. Never passed me, just tailgated. And this was in pretty medium traffic, there was never a really open line. Well, not for anything but a 928, that is. I did my usual 5 mph under the speed limit for the benefit of tailgaters, engine braked, that sort of thing--didn't deter him. Finally, saw that one car about three cars ahead was going REALLY slow, spotted the gap in front of him, the open lane next to me, and decided to put myself about four full vehicles in front. Didn't break the speed limit (much), didn't cut anyone off, always signalled generously. I'd have done it much earlier if I wasn't in the wet (big nerve-racker for me). I think the celica might have done it, but there'd have been a lot of honking horns.

nice kill but, just so you know stock non sti wrx's are slow. I mean what do they have again 227hp and that's to the crank!!! The only wrx's you are going to need to worry about are going to be bolt on boost happy sti's. They can show tail light's to alot of people. Having said that 928's run very well considering their weight. It's after all your biggest downfall(in my opinion) of course its also the reason your car's run so well and smooth on the freeway cruising so its all realtive I guess. I really want to purchase a gt model and have it turbo charged. I am a boost freak for life. The styling of the 928 is just so sexy. I think my father's s4 beat's me easy in the looks department. Ofcourse I kill him in the performace department so its about even. Pick your poison.
nice run's and glad you showed that stupid fast-n-furious kid what's up. I can't stand the ricer's
