Unhappy
Not too impressed, coming down the pit straight on my private race track and all of a sudden it felt like I was going backwards

Sport was good for 125 but the WRX seems to stop at 115

That's what happens when you buy a Jap spec one, with the 112mph limiter still in place.

I know the feeling. I didnt know mine was limited to 112mph when I bought it. I dont often go over that, but the thought of being beaten by a corsa was too much and I got it delimited for £150.
