Got killed today by a brand new WRX STI
SO FRUSTATED RIGHT NOW @()#@!!**()@#
I posted up at a red light, north on Edinger, and Goldenwest.
Turned off DSC, light turned green, slammed it. It was maybe a little less than a quarter mile until the next light so I had to slow down but he was only a 1/4 car length ahead of me. I like how the car chirps shifting into 2nd tho, I think the 20's are slowing me down off the line.
There will be no more of this, I'm focusing on performance mods ASAP.
Ok, I'm done steaming.

Look what I found:
These new STIs are no joke. I'm certainly not going to be taking one on any time soon without more mods.
The WRX STI is based on the Impreza WRX platform but is completely re-engineered to provide even higher levels of acceleration, handling and braking performance that challenge the world?s best sports cars. In its first year, the WRX STI won Road & Track magazine?s ?Best Car 2004? Reader?s Choice Award, edging out several dedicated sports cars, including the Porsche 911 GT3.
The Impreza WRX STI is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter DOHC boxer engine producing 300 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 300 lb-ft of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. Teamed exclusively to a 6-speed manual transmission, the engine can propel the WRX STI from zero-to-60 mph in under five seconds. Power is transferred to all four wheels by a sophisticated Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) to optimize performance in all conditions.

I guess this should be added to my KILLED record Znod.. But like I said, it was only by so little(less than half a car length), I think if I had a better start it could have very well been a tie.
Don't matter tho, killed is killed. I definitely want a rematch.

Yup, I used it. The pavement was also a little bit uneven, so I noticed a little more wheelspin than other launches I've used.
