Saturday was nice here so I thought it was time to see what the 951 can do on dry (cold) roads. I did a couple fast runs to Nisku and back. It's cool to get going ridiculously fast well before its time to merge with 120kph traffic! In the afternoon, my WRX friend and I went for a rip before the snow started. From a roll on I can drop the WRX pretty quick... from a stop is another story.
The WRX JUMPED 2 carlengths up off the line while I was waiting for the turbo to spool up... Turbo spools up and I got nothin' but wheelspin. Another carlength to the WRX. The shift into second was more of the same, good acceleration, but traction limited. By the end of third gear I had not only realed him in, but put 2 of my own carlengths in front of him. Fun times until I got trapped in 1 cm of snow and had to drive like a granny to get my car back to the parkade.
