Default Beat a WRX?

Not sure what kind of car this is. I think it was a WRX. Do you guys know? Anyway, the first vid, I already got him from the light but I turned the camera on too late, but you can see his car for a spilt second in my pass. mirror. The second vid, I'm not sure if my truck spun coming off the turn or if the tranny didn't shift right, but it took forever to gain speed again. Otherwise I would have been straight up his little ricer a$$. He gave up when we hit the freeway. I guess there was to much traffic. Here's a couple of short vids of the race.

You sir are a maniac for manhandling that beast of a truck and a cell phone camera in that traffic. Sounds freaking deadly! I think that might be an Impreza, the little brother to the WRX? I think? I'm not sure though, cause I can't bring myself to give a **** about those ugly *** little cars. Whatever it was, good job on making it's owner realize that it sucks.

Sounds Good!

That was weird as hell about the lagging tho, I don't know what that was. Wasn't no traction because then it would have revved out not slowed down.

Yeah, it had a tiny scoop on it, but no wing on the back. Is it still in the same family?

I don't think they are in the same family. The STI is the hot rod.
