    Talking Me vs Type-R

    So I was driving home, following this homie 'G' while he's puffin' out some mad power smoke. We had a couple short sprints here and there. My car sucks, it's got no top end.

    Caught a light, it turned green, seems like he had some traction problems.

    Yeah, like last week. It's safe to drive hard now, but not too hard.

    Yeah, he did look like he was in a big rush!

    Man, it's been a long time since I've had a good race.

    Apparently they're pretty even from what I've seen/read. Like I said, my top end sucks.

    is it the the turbos fault, the fuel curves, or something else?

    I always thought that a WRX should be able to stomp a ITR. In terms of hp and torque and with AWD, the WRX has the edge. But I guess the 2600 lb weight and the 8000rpm redline of the ITR really helps. That would be an interesting race to see I guess.

    stock vs. stock, an ITR should be able to take a WRX in the top end, a lude might even be able to take it in the top end, but on the street from light to light, WRX will take it.
