Talking DBM V Black WRX in Birmingham

Just like to say I had alot of fun playing around with this Black pimped out WRX with black alloys.

Tested the acceleration of my car at the first set of lights, no problem taking the lead to the next Island. Then doing XXXmph to catch up after slowing for the cams which the wrx just flew past. SHOCK NO FLASH. Slowed down for nothing....

The real test came when I caught up at the next set of lights. He was on the left, me on the right. I gave a cars length advantage, just to see if my mods can prove itself on the road.....Lights...RED... and of we went no spinning just dropped it at 5000rpm. My car flew..1st..2nd...and the wrx was just eating dust by that time.

Any way it was all good. He was loving the race too.
"It's not the winning..it's the taking part that counts".

If it's you that is reading. What mods have been done your car?

PS just to say that 5-ways roundabout is a bit of a hand full when trying to accelerate around it, found myself in opp lock to correct the slide..made difficult by the bus being in the way...wrx had the best view...the car in front is a DBM.

Through traffic is not cool.

Wow, what a hero! Did you manage to kill anyone in the process? If not then it was obviously more luck than judgement! Wonder how you'd feel if someone driving like a **** like you killed a member of your family??
You're giving us all a bad name.

You are mistaken...i don't speed in built up areas. That was on a empty dual carriage way.
Speedmeister, you are making judgement without knowing the facts.
Don't start telling everyone that you follow the speed limit all the time....I only do it when conditions allow and it is safe to do so.
No such thing as luck..just skill.

Question

Sorry, didn't you say "race", "opposite lock on roundabout but bus in the way", "Birmingham Centre", "70 in a 40", and why have you now edited your thread?
You need a track day!
