So today I just picked my car up from the shop. I had PRL bolt-ons added and a TSP stage 1 tune using map 2.
Coming home there is a STI in front of me. I pulled up behind him, not with intention to race at first, but because I saw him launch and I was curious how quickly I could close the gap.
He took off but I didn't follow. He then slowed down.
As I got closer he pulled again so I did too. This wasn't a fair pull. He didn't wait for me to catch up or even allow me to acknowledge I would pull lol but screw it. I kept up very well! And the gap began closing slowly. I was close to red lining all my shifts. I backed off.
We start climbing a mountain, it can be a little dangerous if you don't know the roads.
He pulls the same stunt again and again I'm right on his ass. He kept looking in his mirror. I kept up through the turns and the straights for a good 3 minutes but backed off due to stress of the vehicle.
In short, I'm SUPER FREAKING HAPPY with my setup. In the past I would lightly test keeping up with STI's or WRX's, and I could not. Even knowing these twisty roads well and trying to use that as an advantage.
I know there are a lot of variables here. His car probably has better traction and more hp. I don't know the year. I'm assuming he didn't have any real mods. My tires are getting a bit worn. I backed off a lot to avoid losing control of the vehicle and focused more on keeping up then trying to pass him. Variable driving skills. etc
