Cool punked a WRX last night

A silver WRX was hauling *** on the beltway (northside) last night, and when he passed me, he slowed down and waited for me to catch up. I was driving my bone-stock orange SS. We were doing about 70 mph, and he bumped his throttle to let me know he wanted to play. So, I put it into 3rd and we took off. I started walking away, had about a car on him just thru 3rd gear.

Then he wanted to play some more, but HELLO we were in traffic after that.

Just thought it was funny, even stock LS1 Camaros can still hurt some feelings out on the road.

Tony

I punked a blue one early Saturday morning. We never got to race properly, 'cause there was a cop car up ahead, but every time he would start to disappear, we'd get on it. He was fast, but no match for the Z.

its the longest I've ever kept a car stock under the hood.

I'll probably lower it this weekend, then it will be done appearance-wise.

I'm still undecided on what to do under the hood. I'd like 550 rwhp or so, since it is my daily driver.
