Default LPE 383 SS... KILLS WRX again!!

I pick the better half up from work this morning not intending to do much but drive home as the roads were slightly wet from a late night thunderstorm. As I approach the light to turn for home, I look in the rearview and see the same WRX that Ive killed twice before. He proceeds to rev it up behind me...as if I didn't already know he was there...I make the turn and he tries to jump me. Me being in no mood...told the wife to hang on!!! I SPIN second gear pretty good but gain enough traction to hold him off until having to slow for a car in my lane, he goes by thinking it's over...wrong!! I swing out grab third catch his *** easy..grab fourth and pull him by at least 4 cars before shutting it down for more traffic. This makes the third time I have killed this guy...Maybe he should find a new way home as to avoid more embarassment...or I should to save my gas!! Either way it has gotten old and boring!!

very nice, with those rwhp #'s you should be trapping higher than 123. More like 126-7. Good run and nice care either way

Thanks, but believe me when I say it wont trap anymore than it did..every run was in the 122 range. I'm running small cc heads, not to mention the weight of the car. It should run deeper in the 11's with a good 60ft, and some power shifting.

How bad are you beating him, how many cars? I would think with you deep in the 11s you should strait rape him. And nice 3rd kill, lol.

This last time was at least 4 cars before I had to shut it down for traffic ahead of us. As , I said in the original post, I had to catch him because of traffic in my lane...so it would have been alot more.

Sorry but he is not stock and keeps egging it on....so I keep proving the point!! Obviously he needs to choose someone his own size or in his league because he keep's getting the smack down with me.

I guess my POINT is no need to knock a guy for winning a race, and correct me if im wrong but the wrx sti stock should run a low 13 same as the stock ss. Neither car is stock so it seems fair to me and on wet ground the wrx should have had the upper hand.

No car has an advantage drag racing on wet pavement, because they're both bumbling imbeciles for doing it in the first place.

Poor WRX didn't even know what hit him. I don't even mess with stock GTs in my stock scooby, much less stroked LS1s.

This is from the bumbling imbecile to you.... , and that was for your comment!! Normally the race would've never happened so dont be judging without knowing. Peace
