Running down the boulevard, wind in the hair, blowing off some steam, a nice red WRX STi, 2008-ish, rolls up and passes me about 45mph, slows down...he wants to play...COOL!!
I line up next to him, still at 45mph, and he hits it, I follow immediately. Easily pull up and pass him, let off as I shifted into 4th.
We pull up to a red light, and I ask him if he wants to go from a dig - he says sure, and that he'll beat me. Sure enough, he gets a car length, but I pull up and as I'm about to pass him, I back off....
I ask what his best 1/4 time is - he says 12.6. I let him know my best was 12.5! Cool dude, we ran again, this time with me behind him at the light...same result, although this time I stayed in it and passed him handily.
Two things I want for my car - better, dissimilar sized rear axle shafts, to eliminate the wheel hop once and for all, and a 2800 stall torque converter, to improve my ability to get out of the hole!!
Happy I was able to find a like-minded driver to play with tonight...and always happy when the air is cool and dense...the car just runs so much better!!
