All I can say is MOFUGAS

That car is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! :lol:
We raced a totally prepared WRX last 3 years and this car stock was sooooo much more fun. We got out of the car after every run laughing our asses off cause it was soo much fun. We rode with each other the 1st couple runs to check out the track cause it was pretty long and complicated. But Joel kept laughing during my runs cause I would STOMP on the gas waaay before the apex and the F*ing car would just 4wheel drift through the corner at incredible speed. He thought there was no way we are making this corner and the DCCD would do a perfect job of powering the car out of the corner. Ahhh its just amazing how much grip the car had and how easy it was to turn, except the slow slow corners. My fastest lap I got out and rolled on the ground laughing :lol: with tears cause it was sooo crazy and fun; I couldnt believe I was flat-out in some of the spots I was. Anyway we named the car Stompy cuz all you have to do is STOMP on the gas before the apex and WHAM your through the corner in a beutiful slide :P .
We were racing in ESP even though the car is completly stock. I had the 2nd fastest raw time of all 80+ cars and this car is bone stock. People kept coming up to me and saying, MAN that car is amazing! I cant believe how fast it was going through blahblah blah turn. Thing was there were like 5 other Sti's and 3-4 Evos. The next fastest car behind me in the class was like 10secs behind HAHAHAH.
In a month or 2 it will have 100 more HP, 285-18" Hoosier race rubber, and a new full suspension. It will be dick how fast it will be then. Its already dick how fast it is. Gawd I cant wait to rock that shit again.

hahaha YES! Now you know what I felt like. I literally laughed and giggled every time I stomped on the gas for the FOERST few weeks. It still brings a huge smile to my face! It's just dick, dick, dick! It also used to tire me out the FOERST week I was driving it. I really wasn't used to *driving* that much, and that car can really wear you out with how fun it is.

Do you guys have any video of the auto-x? I'd love to see some! Also, if you find out when that novice school is let me know! I want to go!

No video cuz i brought the camera but he battery was dead. It does where you out. My hands were shaking from being so pumped for like 3 hours after the race. Your right its soo fast and grippy that you have to work the wheel a bunch to get through the shit.

Ill let u know when the school is

Yep auto DCCD definately works well :)
It's amazing how much torque the Sti has too. With the port and polish turbo there is no lag. It's so much fun lol. Glad to see you had alot of fun your FOERST time out. Now you know what it's like to drive the car at the limit :)

Hey Shane glad you had fun. I'll bring the EVO on if you can borrow that STi and bring it to the street. Cones and Parking lots are for those that are intimidated by Wangan Runs. But hey, if we're borrowing cars my friends dad has a Turbo 911, i'll see if I can snag that for a minute. :twisted:

Saturday was fun, thanks for coming out.
