Default Stock Z28 VS Modded Subie

So tonight me and a buddy were on our way to my moms house to help her with moving some stuff, and as i'm going north on I-40 I run into a guy who lives in the same apartment complex as I do.
His car is an 03-05? WRX. He has told me before that he is stage 2.5 which im not sure what that is but i know he said he has full suspension, upgraded turbo, and weight reduction, and whatever else stage 2.5 is.
I am bone stock down to the stock lid, and had about 400 pounds of people between me and my buddy.
We got 3 pulls total but only one on video. Sorry the quality is soo crappy from my friends phone, and this is my first race ever in my camaro.
Enjoy

It's probably Cobb stage 2.5, I know for sure Cobb stage 2 is full exhaust and a base map from cobb but I'm not sure about stage 2.5 but I'm sure it's not too much more, maybe a bigger intercooler, up pipe and y pipe? Oh the Subaru is also a 02-03 wrx

Nice kill, man....Pulled him pretty good.

I'll bet this is going to start the modding bug..It never fails!
Once you get that high there is no turning back!

Honestly when I talked to him first I really didn't think I would have pulled at all, and honestly just wanted to race just for the hell of it, so pulling out like that was pretty exciting.

Ive had the bug since I got this thing haha, but unfortunately I promised the wife I wouldn't do anything past maintenance until its paid off
