UGH! 14.9 in a WRX is horrid! You should be somewhere in the low 14's. There is a local guy who banged off a 13.98 in a completely stock car but I'd never beat up on a WRX that bad!

Back to the original topic you have no idea how good the other driver is and how good his car is running. Take something with a worn distro cap, worn plugs, old oil, and plugged air filter, of course it will be down on power.

A kill is still a kill

I street race from time 2 time, but not on a busy street around traffic, swerving around cars...we do it late at night, in the country on deserted, seldom traveled roads, from a dead start...kinda like AT THE TRACK...
