Hey guys I just had a little battle with my bro on the Turnpike. My setup a ZC Turbo at 8 pounds with a Si trans. My Bro has a WRX with a exhaust sytem and auto tranny.

We started at about 50, I started in 4th gear, we wanted to see who would be quicker. It was dead even to about 110-115 then he slowly gained a bit but we let off.

Are the Auto Trannys pretty quick on the WRX at high speeds? I would think thats the best part of a auto tranny, highway speed. I was kinda surprised I thought he would pass me considering. Any thoughts?

 

if you wanted to win u should've started in 2nd at that speed.

 

yep we both know I would beat him from a start. I just though he would be able to get me more at high speeds though

 

Funny the exact same thing happened to me on my way to Maryland. Dude in a blue WRX wagon, Jersey plates, pulled up on me on 95S so we started going at it. He couldn't leave me and I couldn't leave him. Granted, my car has a stock ZC with a ZC/Si Tranny. If I had my 4-speed he'd be history. After the initial run in,we basically stayed on each other, cruising @ about 90, trading leads all the way to my exit.............33 on the Capital Beltway.
