Yesterday on the way to a friends house i had to pick up another friend. Coming out of his neighbor hood i see an STi pull out a head of me. He was kind of all over, taking all the tarmac, ont just what was defined for his use by white and yellow lines. I followed in kind. I could see him checking mirror over and over, cause i was right on him. When the turn came to get on the freeway all i could do was pray he would take it, and seeing as though i was already in 2nd gear with 4000 on the tach, i was ready. When he made the turn I could here his tires howl, and then it was on.
He took off at a blistering pace, and i just tried to catch him. He pulled pretty good away from me, until i reached about 100mph, he cut it back and i flew up next to him. I gave him the thumbs up, and he waved and was laughing (not at me, but just because of the good time). I got ahead of him and had to turn off. The turn i had to take was a long right hander onto another freeway, i put my hand out the window and waved him on. As soon as i entered the turn i was going about 90 and was in 4th gear with the tach around 4000-4500, i floored it as soon as i saw him take chase. Needless to say he reeled me in as if it were nothing. The coolest part was through my rear view mirror i could see the sidewalls of his outter tires WAY flexxed, i can't imagin what mine looked like. Well yeah, he reeled me in, and once we got on the freeway before i had to exit he screamed up and waved to me and took off.
Wow those things are fast, i know my 328iS isn't exactly super super fast, but i deem it quick, and i deem that STi fast.
