I'm sorry but either my Daytona wasn't up to snuff when I raced my buddies WRX or he had some NOS I didn't know about.
He blew me away from 0mph, from 20mph, from 55mph, and pretty much every speed he wanted to race at.
Now I'm not saying that isn't a STi, but either you have some mods you aren't telling us about or that dude didn't know how to drive his Scooby.
