Default Turbo SS vs Honda S2000 vs Brand new WRX

So I was following this 16-18 year old kid and his friend in a yellow convertable S2000. Well a WRX with paper tag still on it ends up getting in front of me and next to the S2000. They take off from a slow roll and the S2000 wins the first one by like a fender. Second race the WRX barely wins and hits the hazards

So now is my chance. I start coming up on the S2000 and give him a slight rev. He cant hear the turbo, or see my guages. I see his passenger excitedly get his attention and motion him to slow down. We get side by side and I give him the hit from about 40mph. I dont brake boost and allow him to get about a fender before I floor it. Next thing I know i am at the top of second and he is approx 5 cars back When they pull past me at the light I hear his friend say Wooo that thing is bad!

Now its the WRX's turn. I get along side him and again I dont think he realizes what i have. I just downshift and no brake boosting. I keep motioning him to take the hit but he wont do it. So instead I goose it a little and let off to bait him to go which he does. I floor it and once again i am about 4 cars ahead at the top of second. I am only running them through second gear cause there is no point in going into third and making it worse. Anyway, I slow down and he wants to go again I am in the middle of downshifting and he just floors it. I dont even waste my time chasing him. We take a turn and I get side by side downshift and ready to go. Instead he just turns off into a parking lot.

I knew these races were going to be one sided but I was interested in racing something relatively fast since I got my car back. Most cars around here wont race me.

It began as the LS1 Motor.sports kit but now only a couple pieces remain from that kit (intercooler and intake piping). The rest is custom

I was actually trying to make a new vid today didnt have time. Myabe tomorrow. The only ones I have now are from when I was about 450rwhp.

I do have a pic but you cant really see the turbo. Its on the passenger side and mounted low. Also the intercooler is frount mounted and you cant see that in the pic either.

My blue ballz are getting worse!! Lol
Looks good though, be fun to watch you roll up on some unsuspecting people. Get that vid out in the open so we can all appreciate it!

My upgraded turboed WRX got crushed by a STS twin C5 (492rwhp). My car would leave a stock S2k and WRX a few cars back. I can't imagine what your car did to them. Nice kills and killer numbers.
