the m3 turns onto the street with me and immediately lights it up showing how fast it is, it's fast and he knows how to drive. I follow him to a stoplight. We launch I jump on him 1 car length and stay there up to 100mph. I beat an m3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I. I could tell that our cars were equally fast in the low and middle end. We make a U turn and he starts talking **** sayin he beat me..... He wanted to fight sayin 'u wanna box' and 'I beat you'. It was so funny, how this punk ass rich bald guy wanted to fight. I beat him fair and square. AWD launch kills. I am only boosting 12.2 psi cobb stage 2 and I held him off. Im supposed to be at 15 or 16 psi. I think I have factory freak because m3 supposed to run low low 13's. I think I can pull high 12's when I get intake, pulley, intercooler, protune, and lighter rims, in fact i'm sure, especially after this race.
It was funny seeing this ricer rich boy bmw owner act like a jackass.... sad day for bmw owners.:rotfl:

1), From a roll I believe our cars were evenly matched. You can disagree but your wrong. I do believe that he would kill me anything above 3rd gear

2)Rice: Race inspired cosmetic enhancements. The term ricer fly-by doesnt necessarily have to be used to describe a riced out car correct? In this scenario I am using it as a general term to describe his behavior. He actually performed a ricer fly by. Cutting him off like I said, was dumb. But here in the bay area it happens a lot when you know you won. Stop defending him. And no not everyone would want to pick a fight because of a traditional cut off. He was pissed and wanted to fight because he repeatedly said "I won, I won"
You are correct, cutting him off was dumb, but living in the bay area does not make it ok. People have sex with family members in Tennessee, does that make it right if you live there then?

He acted immaturely, but that was after you cut him off at 100mph. Stop acting like he should sustain 100% of the blame here. You were the idiot that put both your lives in more risk than they already were.

3)Now you just make no sense. Yes, AWD launch is easy especially compared to my FWD mazdaspeed protege. I find it extremely easy to launch a wrx. To avoid bogging it's not that hard. Obviously your gonna bog if you launch at 3000 rpm. But if you rev it to 4 or 5, And let out clutch a little to halfway, it won't bog. You must suck at launching your car then. ON my FWD msp Wheel hop, bogging, etc. I could only seem to launch good on that car when my mind was clear. You had to feather clutch to get traction or avoid wheel hop. With AWD, you feather it for a fraction of the time and it immediately grabs. Even when I ride the clutch too long, it still grabs rather quick and makes for a quick take-off. Don't make assumptions, I know a lot about this car ever since I got it. I learn stuff more everyday especially on the forums. About the comparison to an sti engine, Yes I agree I made a dumb comment when I was drunk I'm sure eveyrone has experienced that if they have drank a lil too much. I think however the engine of the 06 is more comparable to an sti engine than an Ls and typeR engine. The only main difference I see is the head with a slightly different compression. the LS and type R both have different head and bottom.
Please, I don't need a lecture on how to launch a wrx.
You are saying not to make assumptions of you not knowing much about the wrx, and then you go ahead and make the assumption I do not know how to launch.
I put a 2002 WRX on the stock turbo into a 13.3 @ 100mph e.t. with a 1.8 60' so please do not try to tell me I dont know how to launch or a drive a wrx :rotfl:

Ask anybody here that is even remotely knowledgeable about the wrx. Most wrx's driven at the track by your "everyday" drivers see much slower times than the car is capable of because of the launch. The wrx is only a mid-high 14sec car without that awd launch. Many people so those times because they don't know how to launch. and get 60' times over 2.0.
YOU may think a wrx is easy to launch, but the fact of the matter is that most people have trouble with it at first.. more-so than your average performance car.

Well you implied it's rather difficult to launch the car. Compared to the majority of the 2WD cars out there, it simply isn't. With a fwd drive car, you have to worry about wheel hop. You have to be precise about everything for it to grab properly. Or the car will just hop. If you burn the clutch, then you have to let off the gas in order to get traction so the tires can keep up. With RWD, you see a lot burning out and no traction. With AWD, THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF WHEEL HOP OR BURNING OUT. It just grabs, and you hold on. It also grabs considerably more quicker. Sorry I'm not tryin to explain to you what you already know, but still, you took a shot at me. Sidenote: My wrx stock I don't see as being a high 14 second car without AWD launch. sorry.

Alright guys, I was a little drunk last night and posted this thread up rather in a rush. Mistake for posting the wrx has the sti engine. I should have said it has the bottom end of an sti and not claimed it was an sti engine. I knew that, it was just a rush post. Secondly, no I am not racist. I am actually half filipino and hang out with mostly azns not that that matters, just to prove a point. Thirdly, I am calling him a punk spoiled 'ricer' just to emphasize and illustrate the fact that he was this 18 year old bald azn guy that was acting like a ricer. He didn't deserve an m3, he should have had an integra. That's why I said sad day for bmw owners, because he was acting like a jackass. You guys are messed up though for not once mentioniong the fact that he wanted to pull over and 'box' me and claiming that he won when it was clear that I beat him. Lastly, it was stupid I cut him off, I don't know why I did that, especially at that speed and that close. It was kind of a quick reflex reaction because I beat an m3! In my life I have probably only cut someone off in a race like two other times, and that was when I was multiple car lengths ahead. Furthermore I didn't think I was 'cutting' him off because I looked backed twice to make sure I was clearly ahead of his front bumper holding him off steadily. I then made what seemed a safe maneuver to me. It was not. And no I wasn't drunk when I was racing.
That's the gayest excuse i've seen from anyone yet.

this may be a stupid question at this point of all the ranting but did the 06 come in midnight black pearl. I thought only the bugeyes came in that color and then the black changed to metallic colors.

its a felony??? that is such overkill for something all these adults did when they were younger. its like they forget about "the muscle car era" and decide that now because its more common it should be more illegal. a felony for racing? i hope no cop presses charges on that unless someone dies, im sure you can plea bargain down otherwise every guy from age 16 to 24 is going to jail. maybe ill stay in CO....

oh and blownblondboxerbabalicious, the sti engine is more than just a different head design. bigger turbo, intercooler for starters. and no you ask like you just want us to agree with u on one point "you guys didnt even mention the part where he wanted to box me". id have called u out too if u cut me close at 100+. there are ways to race carefully, use them.



Focker, out.

The wrx's feels faster than it really is simply because you get a boost surge because in this car boost hits rather hard for stock. You cannot argue data unless you have something to back it up with other than your butt-dyno opinion.

A stock wrx will typically run 14.2-14.5 @ 94-96mph. A lot of that e.t. time can be accounted for by the launch. Look at that trap speed. Some people want to attribute that to poor gearing, or an asthmatic stock turbo, etc.. but in reality, it is not the trap speed that is off, it is the actual time... This is because it is lower than expected, due to the wrx being able to be launched in boost, like a bat out of hell.

The wrx has traps that equate to a mid-high 14sec car, the wrx has whp that equates to a high 14sec car, and most people that have tracked their cars on a stip without a heavy awd launch get times in the mid-high 14's.
The only thing that makes this a relative moot point is that if you theoretically take away the wrx's launch and replaced it with say..... FWD it would then make more whp and trap higher.. but the e.t. would still remain the prior figure of mid-high 14's.

To give you an even further example:

I took my car to the track when it was stock and didn't want to launch it on its first run of the day. With a poor launch and a 2.3 60' (similar to what a FWD car with similar power would have gotten) my car ran a 14.7
A couple passes later with a solid 1.9 60' launch a 14.1 with the only difference in the car being the launch.

Same thing when I had mods on my car. Poor launch but otherwise driven fine and I run a 14.2
Nail an amazing launch with perfect hook up and a 1.8 60' and all the sudden my car is running low-mid 13's

For you to say that the wrx is not a higher 14sec car without its launch and that it does not rely that heavily on it is simply ridiculous.

Grrrrrreat, this is why people hate import cars in the bay area. Too many dumb ricers thinking street racing is actually "cool". Take it to the track or sell your car and get a yaris. :rotfl:

Most of them had no idea about the muscle car era, they were all hippies, high on shrooms, LSD, weed and anything else they could get their hands on. This is Cali we are talking about, they elected Shwarzenegger!:screwy:
