gsx vs wrx

[14.5 drift]

Cliffnotes: driving to school, got destroyed by a built to shit wrx, feels like a stupid weiner head now.




Was on my way to school this morning when I passed a wrx going up a hill. It was dark blue big exhaust, nice wheels and lots of stickers and a clean full body decal, kinda bounced across the top of the pavement so he must of had a pretty stiff suspension set up. Any way he passed me earlier but then got caught at another light so I saw him again. We were going up a pretty steep hill and I always drop a gear and jam up the hill so i dont waste a bunch of time on it. I passed him going up the hill and he didn't seem to mind. At the top of the hill we are sitting at a light when i look over and he has a dash mounted boost controller, all the pillar gauges, full roll cage, pillar fire extiguisher and the thing has a nasty growl to boot. Light turns green and I am off figuring he didn't care a second ago he probly is not interested in any of my stock eclipse, low and behold, from a few paces behind me I hear some thing nasty start brewin, some sort of loud screaching howling sound coming from under his hood even drowning out the sound of his exhaust, when I see him pass by me with about 20 mph on me and when he shifted it sounded like a freakin mac truck letting off the break pedal. He ran through first and second and had 3 to 4 bus leangths on me and then let off. I never saw him again after that. Is it natural to feel ashamed after an encounter like this? I feel my ego has been brutally assukted and I need some thing to cheer me up. As soon as I am done writing this think I will go find some civics to pick on or some thing. I pressed the pedal again to make sure i didn't run out of gas, or if the turbo didn't fall off, or if the thing was even running. To my dismay it turned out my car was just slow.

Dont feel ashamed...he was built you are stock. They run mid 14s stock ...there may be one thatll run a 14.3 or so but he had the advantage when he was stock. If you had that much mods then you should be ashamed.

Keep your head up. You drive a DSM!! Just remember a few things. Knowledge is power. Read and research. Find a set up that you like and then work for it. You now have a goal (maybe you already had one). And probably the most important thing to know is this: You drive a DSM, he drives a WRX. You can get the same power if not more for less than half the money he spent on his. And one more thing: DSM's are never slow, they just are learning to walk.

Geez - This may take some kinda Professional Psyche-type counseling or a Hug or something... have you talked to your Pastor about this?

He was more modified than you , go out and get some more mods and use this experience to make your car faster than it is.
