It’s been a Rubaru few days.
Kiddo in a still t-tagged STI hatchback (2008ish) was at a light in the left lane little brother or friend in the passenger seat. I creeped by him in the right hand lane as the light was red. He started revving his engine and making BOV noises. We go on down the road and he is revving and trying to get my attention. The road opens up out of town into a highway im behind him at this point. He takes off and I’m on his tail in 3rd. He isn’t moving fast enough so I go over a lane and fly by him as I go into 4th. I slow it down and he comes up for more. Okay, I wait for him to hit and then let him have it again. He sorta hangs on through 3rd gear but once I shift into 4th it’s bus time
.
Today 2015ish WRX wanted to play while I came up behind him on a back road. Had a snap crackle tune it sounded like and I’m sure a COBB tune as those come stock it seems. Had meaty tires with white lettering on them
. He downshifts and takes off once the road straightens up. We are about even through 3rd gear then once I get into 4th I start gaining fast. Had to back off as I couldn’t pass. He tries again same result. Tried a 3rd time and he realized he is holding me back so he lets me pass.
Had a go with a new Mustang GT
. Back road I was behind him it still had t-tags. I was keeping up (he was still pulling ahead) from a 3rd gear pull into 4th and then at about the top of 4th I heard him shift up and he was fucking gone like I wasn’t even on the gas
. Good lawd those new stangs are beasts.
