some kid that i know from high school recently got an 05ish WRX, 5 speed...not an STI or anything, and its stock as far as i can tell. he wants to race me. hes also a ricer, so im pretty sure he sucks at the driver mod. should i accept the challenge?

edit: its an 04 actually

04's still had the 227hp version, they were good for low to mid 14's..if the kid knows how to drive, he'll have ya covered for the first 1/8th or so, but you should pull him after that

in this weather he'd kill you :lol:

on a race track, the playing field is much more level. you seem to be pretty consistant at the track so I'd guess that you'd take him.

I don't think you'd have trouble with him

He'd probably be a little tougher from a dig obviously cause of the awd, if he can drive then he should pull pretty hard, but you'd catch him.

I would reccommend racing him from a role cause unless he knows how to brake boost which I doubt because you said he can't drive, you should pull on him pretty hard, gotta love the V8 torque.

your car is 5 speed right?

I've raced one before from a 30 roll and beat him pretty dam bad.

Can't seem to find the video but this SRT-4 beat him pretty bad too and heres what I did to that car.

Can't really hear the honks in the video and I spun a little.

im pretty sure i could take him out of the hole too...i ran against a WRX once with my GP and i guess he was a crappy driver, i hung right with him off the line...then he walked me :lol:
