Heading out to work this morning and as the garage is opening, the opposite garage opens as well. Guess what peeks out? A brand new Subaru WRX STI! I let him go first... Mwa ha ha...
So, we get lined up in the single lane to jump on the on ramp for [insert major highway], stopped at the light, he's in pole position, I'm right behind him. While I did not rev at the light, I just assumed it was go time! But he started off the light rather slowly, so I put a little charge into his rear bumper, and what do you know, he drops the hammer into the on ramp!
He took off like a bat out of hell, and I was on it!! It's not a good stretch of road/time of day (rush-hour) to run extremely fast on (very twisty) or two-lanes on, so I wasn't trying to pass, just hang tight, and hang tight I did! I'm pretty sure neither one of us were maxing our vehciles out, we both let off at 80 mph, just a fast morning run through the twisties.
So, no kill, but tried, and not owned! Fun run with a pretty fast car, by most standards! First car that's tried to leave me behind like that... He must have been wondering how in the hell a Jeep was hanging, without issue, with his STI in the twisties! Hello Bilstein shocks!
