I raced a fully built WRX today which had a garrett GT-30 ballbearing turbo with the boost turned down to 6psi, and won ...it wasnt runnin at full potential (18psi), but hey, still a good feeling to beat a fully built car like that which dynoed at 270whp at the 6psi it was runnin on

Great kill.
Was it from a stop or a roll?
A stock WRX seems to lose a lot of pull in the midrange when it hits 50mph and coincidentially this is where the Z excels in power. Probably a different story in the case of this built up WRX.
Wish we could get more ppl to videotape these runs w/ friends because i'm sure we'll have a few rex-boys in here calling BS within hours.

yeah the wrx's do seem to lose power from mid to top end...once you get a jump on them (on the highway) its hard for them to catch up...i raced my friends wrx last week from 3rd gear and got the jump on him and took about 2 car lengths on him...oh yeah this was in a greddy powered civic on 8psi...
