SakoTGrimes Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 So my uncle's got this 2003/2004 WRX that he leased and then bought. He's 77 and an experienced fast driver. From Lakeview to Ontario he let me drive. This car is just too stinkin easy to speed in, I had a hard time keeping it under 80 (My Soob: 65hp, his Soob: 227) So anyway I'm doing my best to resist the urge to open it up (knowing uncle Lee would be totally fine with it didn't help) until we get to this straight as far as the eye can see and he says "Now would be a good time to go fast/go 100/ something like that" So I did! I kept it down until 123mph and broke my personal speed record. It had waaaay more left in it but there was a curve ahead. DIE bugs! Oh yeah and that speeding part was all done on a closed course, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Ah, one more thing, I saw a 4WD neon/lime green GL hatch at a market Friday, I forgot where. Anyone know who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Looks like a sharp car. Are these electronically speed limited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted that's fast but I've done 163mph on my 99 GSXR 750 using a satelite speedo wich is withing 1mph accurate. That's fast and scarry as hell lol, my friends done 206mph on his Busa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve455 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 nice looking car,it should be able to do 140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daehttub2000 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 LOL, Great Uncle. If memory serves, the 02ish WRX's were electronically(or drag?) limited to 130mph. Glad to hear that you were "supervised" and sensible enough to try it on a wide open and clear straightaway. Now that I'm older and wiser (ha!) I no longer indulge in top speed blasts. I just get my yucks with 0-60 sprints on the advice of my lawyers... Finsol: That's nuts. You would get along nicely with some of my motorcycle addled friends. It's not fair to compare motorcycles with cars given that ridiculous power-to-weight ratio advantage you motorcycle miscreants enjoy. Hope you were wearing a helmet and body armor during that high speed blast. Bugs kind of hurt at that speed amoung other things. Did you sign your donor form on your license:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
