Its a Friday, its a clear, sunny day, and Im "crazy in love"....what a better way than to go out to the Santa Cruz Mtns and just have a peaceful, scenic cruise.......
As I went up the mountains, impatiently driving behind a slow car, a shiny, silver Subaru WRX Sti driver comes and starts to tail me. Of course, we had to wait until we hit the section with the overpassing and when that came, foolish I may seem, I challenged the STI driver....
Holy S&*t.....that car accelerates like theres no tomorrow! It simply just accelerated away from my anemic 2.0. Never have I seen a car accelerate that quickly!!!! ( It probably accelerates even faster than the Z06 I versed earlier this year!!) For a mile or less, it kept a 8-10 car length lead on me.
Then came a section known as Bear Gulch ( Dave you know which one Im talking about), which basically is a section which primarily consists of winding hairpins. When we entered it, the STI's steam seemed to go away. The 8-10 car length lead was lost when I was hanging on his bumper. On ALL the corners, I was able to keep up with him. To put more pressure on him , I also started to flash him more, and eventually, he started messing up. After we finished that part, I activated my hazards to conclude my victory, but when I stopped to chat with him, he looked pissed and just drove off to another direction.
I must say, this must have been my hardest battle to date. On the straights, we were going around 120-130 mph on the straights and about 80-90 mph on the corners.
I know that many of you wont believe this story, but in fact, I DONT REALLY CARE. Im just glad I experienced it and barely won. That race was LONG and TIRING. In fact, after that race, my hands were TREMBLING abit due to the high speeds we hit. Anyways, my Jetta and I are tired, so I wish everyone a good night......
P.S. If your going to challenge an STI, be prepared to unleash everything you've got. They are THAT FAST!!!
