Met up with a few friends and went cruising around a little. Ran into this kid. We decided to run 'em a couple times and this is what we got...

My car- LTs, ORY, 4.10's, tune
STi- All he told me was it had a "turbo-back"

The roll went as I expected with his AWD being his disadvantage at higher speeds.

I felt bad for him because I yanked him pretty good from the best lower roll we could've done for my car so I thought I'd offer to run him from a dig so he could get the jump and I would've had to play catch up. But, that didn't go as planned either :/

Double woot!

nice.. contrary to what people think, it is not easy to hard launch AWD cars without practice

The Subaru's will take the beating, no so much the case with the Mitsubishi's...

Subarus hate being launched on tarmac. Maybe it is not the case with newer ones but I went on quite a few forums and did research when I was looking into getting an imperza and everyone told me good luck with the trans

Local guy here had really good luck with his 06 Suby. Over 85k miles of shear fucking abuse. You should see the terror this guy put that car through...

All he kept breaking was the motor mounts...

Talking about Page?

Remember when I ran that rich kid in the Sliver STi that Turbo Honda Steve knew?(This was in the Green car)

Anyways we race, and cops pop out of no where... since the STi did a ricer fly-by after I hit the brakes the cop poped the STi :laugh:

Its a devided hwy that runs from here to there. The traffic flow at night is very low, and its very straight. Its a good spot for sure.
