well this happen no more than a month ago, first race was with a celica gt-s. i was on the freeway and i noticed on the back mirror a car cutting into traffic trying to get to me so being a good sport i slow down lol, after he gets next to me he stayed at the same speed so i figure he wanted a shot, we slow down and waited for traffic to clear, once it did we wot, i wot in 3rd gear and start pulling fast, beat him by a good 4 cars or more, he gets next to me again and says that's a good car, i have a rotary shop you should write my number, i have whatever you want, strut bars,turbos,rotors,engines,swaybars etc. lol so i wrote the number and he gave me a thumbs up and we went our separate ways, cool guy. now with the STI, first of all this sti owner was talking to me one day and he ask me what i had on my car, i said a couple of thinks but not everything, he then asks me what whp i was looking for and i replied not less than 300whp, then he looks at me and said, your gonna need a lot more than that to catch me( you know typical sti and evo owner pride) i didn't run that day because i was going to tune my car. i went to the dyno and dynoed 280whp and couldn't keep going cause the turbo went boom, so i had to get to my home and put the stock turbo again until i fixed or buy a new big turbo. well a month or a little more had pass since that and i was getting out of my home and to my surprise i look on the rearview mirror and the sti was behind me getting closer. he gets besides me and ask if i wanted to run, im still on stock turbo cause i haven't bought another turbo but i didn't care, i said to myself ''let's see if this guy is as fast as he says'' so i agree. we go from a 1st gear roll, he honks 3 times and i get the jump, to my surprise i stayed all the way to 4th gear in front by only a fender, i started laughing inside my car telling to myself "im on stock turbo running 10psi and only with 210whp and i beat this supposedly sti beast". he asks for a second run i agree. he honks 3 times and we go, he gets the jump this time but we were side to side trough 2nd gear then i miss 3rd gear dammit lol. i ask for a last run and he agrees. we roll from 1st gear again, he honks 3 times and we wot, i stayed beside him until i slam 2nd gear, then he starts pulling, slam 3rd and he stays only a car ahead by the end of 4th gear. (maybe he has a boost controller and hit hiboost???) it was a fun race but man if i would've gone with the other turbo i would've slaughter him, a rematch is coming and with my new turbo so is gonna be fun. At the end of the story his supossedly beast was just a pussycat lol i would've love to see his face on the first race, it must've been priceless.

Theres these 2 punks at work drving hondas and one of them call me out saying "I want to race your Rx7!" I was like "Ok..." one of them is driving a Civic Si and the other a hatchback.

thanks, i was very surprised at the sti, i figured that if his car was going to run the same as he talk he would've smoke be easy with his supposedly 300awhp+, but once again everything is figured out once you step up lol. he's a cool guy but he talk's more than what his car is capable off. i bet his car has no more than 300whp.

Nice kill on the celica gts... and a good try on the sti.
I killed a gts a while back too...(Not sure how many car length...but it was far).
Unfotunattelly, i haven't yet raced an evo nor a sti. I've been turned down by sti 3 times.

got an update from the sti: sti have two race maps, he raced me on the street map, he says hes pushing around 320whp, his race map is around 360whp. sti is fully built, utec, forged pistons and rods etc. his car can easily get 500whp if he wanted but he says hes tired of breaking things everytime he tries to get big numbers lol(apart that he had to do a complete rebuild since he already broke it once), it's his dd so i can see his point. i think that 300whp will be more than enough to take him down considering that he only walk me by a car lenght with my present whp. rematch is coming soon, later.
