I just had a convo about this in the General somewhat.
My buddy just picked up a stock 09 WRX and keeps talking shieeet about how he can destroy my Stg1. GTI. The thing is, he's stock thus far and doesn't have funds to upgrade it so I'm not worried about that yet. But from what I felt sitting as a passenger, the car didn't feel strong at all. I didn't even feel the acceleration the same way I've felt in an 06 Legacy or a buddies STI. It just felt like it was missing it. Beyond the accelerating point when he reached around 50-60mph, the car felt like it had nothing more than any other car speeding. I was thinking, I could totally take him.
The thing is, I don't street race anymore, and don't look forward to racking up anymore points whatsoever but hearing an annoying Scoobiefag egg me on drives me a little bonkers, lol
