halfmoon bay drive with my old suby crew (56K NO NO)

i went to a drive with my old subaru club people at half moon bay. there suppose to have 2 other rx-8 show up also, that used to drive subaru too. but they didnt show up, i was the only rx-8. kept up with the subys on the hills. traction control always kicks in during the apex, subys are so fast coming in and out the corners.


we head down highway 92 here in the bay, then 35 where the famous alice restaurant is. there were close to 100 motorcycles and tons of cars. we had to fit in the gas station. then head down to highway 1 for a little drive.









































i love the way my car look, but just that stupid right taillight starts to trap water.
gonna drop it and exhaust soon. and tint.

here are some more pictures of the subys. i left early because i had to go to santa cruz. but i was lucky that i left early, because the subarus decided go offroad on the dirt, where i would get stuck. here are some pictures of them playing off road if you guys interested.

stock is 230/235. my old suby, i had just a turbo back exhaust system and a tune. i was running 237whp/276wtq. so is was FAST

stock sti is 300/300. and with turbo back and tune, can easily hit 300wtq.

That's pretty good, we have the base model Impreza with about 170, and I wanted to know how much more the WRX could; clearly a lot. Thanks for the info.
