    was at a stop light beside a minivan waiting for the light to go green, I then noticed a minivan just passed the intersection broke down in my lane and I had to turn right a lil after this broken down minivan, so light goes green I applied some extra throttle then usual and got around the minivan, I looked in the rear view mirror hoping I didn't seem like a douchebag to the guy that was beside me but then noticed a WRX that came into my lane after the broken down minivan and flies up and rides my ass.
    so I turn right onto the entry to the highway but its a really sharp turn onto the highway that dictates 20 mph, so I go 40 mph and my old impala is leaning hard due to stock suspension and I look back and WRX is still on my ass and taking the turn like its nothing lol. and sounded like he had some sort of exhaust cause I couldn't even hear my car over his.
    so we get to the straight part of the highway and it splits into 2 lanes and I floor it for fun to see how bad he is going to pull on me, I pull almost a car on him and kept that distance as he went into the passing lane but stayed roughly a car length behind and I shut down at 70 mph cause I am not a speeder much any more, I thought he might pullup and want to try from 70 mph(which I would of declined) but he flew by me and had that thing floored untill it was out of site.
    Only reason I think it was a WRX was the badge I saw on the back when it passed,I don't know anything about WRX's besides knowing it should of smoked me at any speed lols.
    It was fun as I hadn't done anything like this for like 2 years lol.

    if it was stage2, basically a turbo back exhaust and a tune, he would have stomped you hard.

    if it was stock then he still would have stomped you, just not as bad.

    they aren't fast without doubling the amount of money the car is worth in parts into it. they're quick, but not fast.

    and they cost a crazy amount to make power and are easy to blow up. yet they have a super big following. i dunno. i am totally cool with mine being sold.

    Stock auto WRX's will run 15's.

    Seen that.

    Would have probably been a "better" run if you would have top swapped it, girly.
