Default STi kill

I was on my way home from work today at about 3:30. It had stopped raining about three hours earlier so the streets wern't perfect but werent horrible. They were however bad enough that the sti driver didnt want to race me from a dig (go figure).
I pulled up along side him after several minutes of trailing and caught the light at 135th and nall. After a short talk we agreed to roll through the intersection and go from about 20mph. We get through the intersection and I give the ceremonial three honk. Immediately I hear his turbo spooling even over my loudmouth as the auto kicks down. Unfortunately enough I only heard it for a few seconds as I began to pull away from him a little harder than I expected for such a low roll. I shut down at about 80mph with about a car and a half lead. He stuck his hand out the window and gave me a thumbs up as he made a last minute right hand turn (guessing he wasnt paying much attention to where he needed to leave).

rockin. sounds like a cool STi guy. Those cars are growing on me big time. I'm thinking of maybe getting one after a WS6, 05 GT, 03 Cobra, C5, C6, C6Z06, 02 SS, Etc.
