Hi all,

Just wanted to share a quick encounter that took place on the highway today. Just left work cruising at 120kph when an new STI fly pass me and slow down afterward. He definetly wanted to catch my attention ;-)
I remain relaxed, but he activated hazard, he really wanted his day spanked. I drove on his side and he signals me, 3-2-1...

I didn't know what to expect, some guys really mod those hard, but nope, i litteraly destroyed him... As soon as we wot, i pulled right away and in a blink he was in my rear view mirror.

Fyi, rwd, 8sp, jb4 map1 and dp.

Any kill stories you guys have ?

Made my day ;-)

No stories to share...but when I race, I enjoy doing so through school zones at 8am - talk about a rush, amirite!

My Downpipe is going on this week so I hope to share a similar joy

STis and Evos are nothing on the freeway. All their power is within the first 3 gears. My S2K can keep up with them on the freeway.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...winning is winning.

But I can't launch the M235i for shit. It's totally a highway pull car.

That reminds me... the other day I was pulling onto a highway from a Chick-Fil-A driveway and a car was approaching sort of fast so I gunned it.

Now in my old WRX that wouldn't have been a problem. This time however I noticed my car wasn't really accelerating much and I looked behind me and there was a HUGE white cloud of smoke.

How does one launch? I have an 8spd...so is it just:

Press Break - and hold it down
Rev Up - 3k RPM
Release Break


^^^Is that it?

Nope. It ends up with too much wheel spin off the line. And I followed all the steps. Drove car more than 7mi, had it in sport+, trac disabled (automatically in sport+), held brake down, put foot to floor on accelerator and you can hear the revs bouncing. Let go of brake and it just spins the tires.

Not sure if it's because car is full bolt-on and running meth. Even dipping full throttle on a roll it'll spin tires. Running 265s in back too.

No. That's just brake torqing. But it can work better.

Btw...it's "brake".

And yes i'm aware of the spelling. It was a "TYPO" as the kids say nowadays.

You're so right, it's tricky to launch, especially when modded...
I plan on 265 rear to help, but still, i got jumped easely by an S5 which was frustrating ;-)
More pratice at the strip this summer

Yesterday, I was cruising at normal freeway speeds and an old A8 cut me off after speeding past everyone at 100+ ...so I killed him.

So you're saying the trunk will indeed hold a body. OK, this changes things.
