Y'know what, depending on what my schedule looks like, I might end up at the track tomorrow.

I never look at D A when I go to the track I just a run.
I think he might've went 2 or 3 times..yeah, garbage 60 ft, but 13.1 with a 2.1 60ft? That has to count for something, y'know.

Yeah and imagine what a better driver would have done...


I just don't understand why it's always the guys with the slowest cars that obsess about DA...

And before anyone gets Butthurt I don't consider a 12. 4 fast... 11s or better is respectable

I didn't complain before, I'm not complaining now.
And seriously, moving on to a different car if I don't get 13s...

Well I'd actually opt for a Lancer, but the insurance on them is retarded unless you're over 25.

Well it would be a manual in the case of the Impreza.

That's the first bad thing I've heard about the WRX's reliability, Alberto.

You need to do research. Any kind of racing stress especially for a first time mt driver, it would be a costly decision.

I didn't mean to like..be disrespectful or anything, I was just messing with him. I didn't expect the response I got otherwise I wouldn't have said what I did.

And I'm not discussing quarter mile times anymore until the 15th.
