Yeah, at first I thought I was going to keep up no problem. I was reving high when I went into 2nd so the boost was all ready on. For the first few seconds I was on him and then he just started pulling away. He was really winding the gears out.
Yeah... those WRX's and such are pretty darn fast. A coworker has a Saabaru (WRX resold by Saab) with an auto transmission, and it's quite a bit faster than a TDI jetta... which I consider to a pretty fast car.But, he averages 23mpg, and that with not flogging it very much. Below 20 if you give it gas alot. The TDI would drop to around 40 if we went too fast...
