OH yeah and I've raced my friend's WRX with both of my cars. He's got CAI and exhuast and I'm sorry but it doesn't beat the 8 or my S2K. Keep dreaming, you don't drive an STi buddy...
Although I was a little disappointed in that the 8 didn't totally slaughter the WRX like I thought I would have, but it still beat the little impreza.
