Slow

I have not driven a quick car in a while being that my srt and camaro are getting rebuilds now. I bought my 02 WRX last week and for the 1st 2 days I thought it was quick at least 1st and 2nd gear. Now I think it is slow as hell and want to mod it more, but this is suppose to be my daily driver. I know I will end up modding it, might just start with the tranny so I can at least launch the hell out of it.
Mike

well i doubt someone with 1000hp would drive there car everyday... i think after about 400-500hp you get satisified with the pull of acceleration.

My car has been at the level it's at now for several years. When I push it hard it still scares the crap out of me, lol.

Of course, I don't drive it much anymore.

Still, I'm in no hurry to make it faster considering this is just a weekend/street warrior.

Considering I'm a wimp and usually get off it early/prematurely you are better off going for a ride with Spendone. Going for a ride with him will give you a good taste of what it's like....
