Default WRX jackass

So my younger brother works at this mechanical plant for contractors and such...Well, the bosses son who is my age 23 has a new WRX that he has done some bolt-ons to. Coming from my brother this guy has been going around talking up the **** out of his car and conviencing everyone in the office that it is the fastest car ever!! I myself have witnessed this many times before where i used to work. Anyway, of course my brother opens his mouth up about my car and how he's pretty sure my car would get his WRX. Well as he says this everyone laughs at him b/c everyone has been programmed by months of **** talking from the WRX guy!!
Long story short my brother came to me beggining to have the Z for the day. So I told him what to look for with NOS and such and to go hand the guy his ***! Needless to say the first run he spun too much and only beat the guy by 2 car by 90mph. Well the guy was totally surprised by this and called for another run and this time my brother says he had a much better run and had about 5 cars on the guy by the same speed and he said after the last run he made the turn back into work and the guy came up and was like "WTF man you didn't tell me it was a sleeper, no way that thing is stock" Now sometime my brother can exaggerate but either way im sure this guy had his *** handed to him! LOL

Hey ya know, if you're 23 and coming from something like an escort or a cavalier, I bet that wrx does seem pretty fast.

I, on the other hand, Know my TA is slow... It's still faster than everybody else I know though. hah.

Heck, out of the 9 cars/trucks, I've owned, two have/had less that 100K Miles. My Monte SS has 184K on it. Besides, when the engine takes a dump, thats when you build a bigger better stronger engine! More the reason to have a high mileage car. Besides if it is paid for, it's paid for! Paying a little more in gas is cheaper than car car note. Just get you a 150K mile altima with a 4 banger to drive everyday. That would be cheap.

No def. not an STI. I specifically asked my bro that...and he knows cars pretty well also. Actually i'll ramble on a little ...and tell you guys that i've always wanted an LS1 since sophmore year in highschool...and when i finally get it all his buddys are in love with mustangs and Super Coupes. Well my brother proceeds to tell me that he feels that all these Fbodys aren't as fast as you think! and how i will be wrong about murdering stangs and SC...Needless to say he was enlightend the first time i took him for a spin! and I quote "Holly ******* ****....Ok im definitly wrong" LOL

To get any decent numbers out of a WRX it will take a lot of work, much bigger turbo etc...
