Nice run at the track. You know they're called the "tree" and not a "stoplight", right?

Awesome race story, i was challenged by a turbo prelude today with a straight exhaust....OMFG did it sound like ****, and he went out the back door! WRX's can hook off the line but from a roll will most likely be taken out easliy.

Of course all this was done at speeds at or below the posted speed limit, right??

I raced a few WRX's at the tree before (yes, really at the strip) and have won against most of them. But me running high 12s just wasn't cutting it for some of those cars. Watch out.. they can be made pretty quick!
