Default Had my 1st play?

Evening all a bit childish I know (before anyone says) not really a boy racer but couldn't resist. On the way home from work tonight saw my first Evo to have a play with (after 14 months of ownership), red with black alloys Evo 8 me thinks he was 2 cars infront at a set of lights (2 up) infront of me was a passet tdi and then the Evo lights changed off we went managed to get to the inside lane (duel carriageway) past the passat bless him then went past the evo (not quick) just to see if he was up for it or not then he gunned it went past me and we were heading towards green light (saying to myself change please change please) and they did sat at the lights didn't look at him but he was revving his engine lights changed off we went (first time done a launch f**k its cool clutch stinks) pulled about 3 or 4 car lenghts in front then slowed down he then went passed me as I turned off and they didn't even look at me. What I did notice with my car was when I put my foot down the revs jumped as if I still had my foot on the clutch when I changed gear any thoughts what this could be anyway happy now can die a happy man Scooby 1 Evo 0

your clutch is riding and you might need a new one soon.

Sounds like your clutch is slipping. Or in your haste to whip through the gears you weren't letting the clutch pedal fully up between changes.

The former could be expensive.

The latter just needs more practise.

Good question, was it a baby evo?
Bet it had a high level
Seriously, on paper don't stock Evo's have better performance than stock Impreza's?
