Well pulling into work today I see a silver WRX pulling in and can just make out the top of the guys head with the window being down 1/3 way. It was bald

. So I figured it may be a guy on my floor of the building. After getting up there 30 minutes later I run into the guy I am thinking it is and ask him if he has a WRX, he replies with a smile and a oohhh yeahhhh, so after I give him that niiiiiceeee and yes head shake to stroke his ego a little I ask him if its quick off the line like I hear those AWD cars are and of course he says "its damn quick" nodding his head and smiling. Soooo, being a normal sy owner like we all are I ask him if he races, of course he says " sometimes.....if I think its going to be a good race..." so I ask him if he would like to line up after work so I can get a comparison between my ride and his. He said sure and ask what kind of car I have, well....I said..actually I have a truck... He said, what ???? I said yeah its a black S10. He said have you done anything to it?

I said I have done enough to my v6 that I think it is fast. Right then and there he ask me which way I was going when I leave work and we agread on the same direction. Well I couldn't wait till the end of work today, man it was tuff, I just kept smiling for no reason through out the day. Its a nice thing ! ! ! ! Anyway, after work I went and met him pulling out of the lot. Its like 65 degrees here and the roads were wet from the rain earlier. I pulled out behind him and had to go about 5-6 lights before getting to one we could both hit together. Well I was in the right lane and knew I was going to drift to the right if I launched with to much boost on wet pavement. I sat there and looked over at him and he was smiling at me shaking his head and laughing as he put up his passenger side window.

I boosted up at the last second and only had to hold it there (5 psi) for about 2 seconds before the light turned. WOW, The truck jumped forward like it was on dry pavement to an instant, i can see him in my rear view mirror, length. NICE, Now I would have given anything in the world to see the look on his face at that very moment. I kept my foot in it till he was over 300-400 feet back there.

I pulled over to the side of the road and rolled down the window, All I got as he pulled up with the passenger side window down was, I'll talk with you at work tomorrow...

I wonder what he is going to say tomorrow? He will either say something went wrong with his car like a missed shift or he will simply swallow his pride and say something like, That is a sick a$$ truck... Anyway, Just thought I would share.

I am heading down to beach bend raceway this weekend to get some times and do a little more tuning on the Sy. I am hoping for mid 11's. We will see.

Stock WRX vs. mid/high 11sec Syclone....LOL

In all fairness, you should have given him a head start...with him at the next light in front of you.

My cousin has an 02 wrx with an upgraded turbo and everything. He still won't play with me. I knew I shouldn't have taken him for a ride and launched with him. His exact words were "I thought my chest was gonna collapse". It's fun playing with them, very nice kill and good set up. He fell for that hook line and sinker

I want a ride in a STi. The only word I've heard in the same sentence with STi is "FAST!"

How would compare 'em Renz?

not stock
Re: new WRX killing :eek:)

i had an '02 wrx before i had the sti. not in the same league at all. the 02's clutch sucked, the car was impossible to launch w/o burning the clutch.

i ran a 13.2 @ 102.86 in the sti completely stock at our extravaganza meet. come down this way, i'll take you for a spin in it.

So have you talked to him today?

I finally got to talk with him yesterday, I was talking with a couple other guys when he came into the room. He was smiling and immediately said "I had my parking brake on...." smiling and then said, man that truck is awsome, I have never seen a launch like that... One of the guys I was talking with was the guy behind us leaving that day trying to keep up with us while we were jocking for positions trying to hit the lights at the right time. He saw the whole thing... He said I took off like someone rear-ended my at the light. :D I liked that.. He also ask me for a ride some time....and so did the guy with the WRX....:p

Thanks for listening,

My friend has a 04 WRX. (haven't raced him yet, but I'll let you guys know when I do) It's a very nice car, but for me I prefer the syclone. I see AT LEAST 4 wrx's/sti's a day. I've only seen 2 SY's in my lifetime. The awe factor from everyone when you drive it around is worth it, even if a WRX might be a smidge faster. I'll never forget the day I bought my truck and drove it home, some little kid turned around and looked at it and was like "WOW" and my girlfriend thought it was the coolest thing, even with a cladding piece missing and it being dirty as hell. The SY is much cheaper to pay for and much cheaper to insure, but costs a lot to fix, but that's half the fun. The way to go would be to own both, like some people on this board. That way you can use the WRX for a daily and save the SY for the nice weekend days. :tup:

Cool story SY2910

Great Kill!. I could't wait to hear the excuses! Parking brake..b/s! I think an unsuspecting / crappy driver = loser. I did a tune up and still need DM but, I just want 1 race. I drive it daily and I have not even lined up next to someone. When I do I'll post it win or lose.

It is nice to own a truck that will take most everything you will meet at a stoplight.
