Was cruising up to the old mans place up in the hills here in Perth on the w/end in the 4G61T Excel. Amongst watching some old fart in his Range Rover literally kill his motor while attempting to keep up with me going up the hill, later on some guy pulled out and attempted to "monster" me in his MY00 WRX. From what I could tell he only had an a/m exhaust on it.
I pulled up to a right turn and the rex was following me. I could hear him giving it some revs behind me. I looked across at my g/f as we waited for traffic and she gave me 'the nod'.
At which point I gave it some revs and dumped it at ~ 1/2 throttle through first and speed shifted 2nd so it wouldn't all end up as wheelspin madness. I heard the rex nailing it from behind. I think it was about this point the rex driver had figured out that I wasn't just some lowered, 17" mag, big exhaust riceboy wannabe without the bodykit as he heard the quick "psshhhht" from my BOV.
I made it to the 2-3 shift and was rewarded with a big dose of wheelspin and torque steer at about which point I noticed I had already put 4-5 car lengths on the rex so I shut it down (was a 50kmh zone after all).
The WRX driver kept his distance all the way along the road after that.
oh yeah, I was running ~5-7psi max, super rich AFRs and a 6000rpm fun limiter (still needs to get off this damn break-in tune!).
