Was in the highway driving normally
there was a Subaru Wrx STi suddenly tailgating me (not sure with the year model but it was new)
he closely went past me on the side making sure I was able to hear his 2.5L flat four boxer engine... I laughed.
Probably just some college boy with his first sports sedan
but then, I was like, is he challenging me?
so I wanted to teach this dude a lesson not to mess with GTRs
My 2019 Gtr is stock besides exhaust.
He accelerated ahead of me
then soon I followed
He accelerated quickly
I was almost flooring it and didn't understand why the gap was not getting smaller.
Then I realised there is no waaaaay he is stock.
I mean, eventually, I was able to caught up with him but still.
so my question is:
Like how fast are STI's if they are tuned compared to stock GTRs?
Do they need to be heavily tuned to keep up with us?
I know they are much lighter than GTRs so Im assuming he will need lesser WHP to go as fast as a Gtr right? like how less?
cause the one I saw did not seem to be modified on the outside.
even the exhaust sound, definitely aftermarket, but wasn't even that loud.
and STi are manual transmissions not paddles.
***I know going fast on the highway is bad, but there was few cars on the road that time.
