Default Got spanked by a WRX

Those cars are really fast, it beat me from 80 to 140 mph and kept on taking off, minus the blueblack smoke.

Sounds like your friend just has the WRX emblems, no way you could stay near one in an NA. Bleucamaro here has an STi and that thing would tear me up in the 951 at anything up to 100mph...above that I think I would keep pulling. If the OP poster lost to one up to 140mph then he wasn't dealing with a stock car or he was running on 3 cylinders.

You didn't run a stock WRX. You should kill a stock WRX from a roll-on, and be right with an STI. Hell I would bet $ that you will beat a stock STI 80-140.

Mods for those cars are cheap and plentiful. It wasn't stock don't worry about that and you're almost stock. No shame. Let it inspire you to upgrade.

Next time try against an Infinity g35 sedan. I surprised one tonight on a two lane freeway on ramp. By the time it narrowed to one lane at the top there was only one car. The g35 was a ways back.

The WRX STI is amazing! The AWD Turbo combination is great! Watch some videos of these cars doing all wheel burnouts. These cars can launch easily!
