Breaking news! Boxster s smoked by subaru impreza!!!

[Timco]

So, it happened again. WXR or whatever they are. Park City to SLC, I-80.

I pass him at 85, he shoots by. I hit near redline in 4th or about 110, Shift to 5th, and at 120 I am right there with him, straight line up the long pass. I have not really ever compared to another vehicle at higher speeds. COPS, please do not read any farther.

Over the top of the pass, you can see a long ways. No traffic. As I match him (110) with several lengths between, I can see that he can pull away with ease, but I catch him easily without going any faster at curves, as he starts wide and the car leans into each turn, then he corrects to inside. The Box sits middle lane, and really doesn't feel like it leans very much. He was struggling to feel comfortable in each long corner, but the handling on the Box was far superior.

I'll take cornering over the extra ponies any day....and yes, I know better. It was over in a few minutes but I never tried to pass. Just matched him. I know that should stay on the track, but that's my cool story, bro.....

Those Impreza guys get to enjoy their cars twice as much as we do. When they drive it and ten years later, when it's been recycled, they can drink their beer out of it.

a Renegade LS conversion with a nice heads and cam package should change that

I had a new jeep (must have been turbo'd) just barely start pulling away from me at the beginning of second, I started gaining and was good with that and let off. There are plenty of pickups out there with some big HP what can smoke me at the line but as has been said already here, the curvy roads, top down, sexy car, classy car, prestige...
