that whenever I drive the Subaru every car and their mom wants to get frisky and rev and try to race, but when I drive the Evo you won't even look my way.... :spin:
*Please note, I wouldn't race either way, but still.

don't come up this way.
If its got a wing, and a intercooler its gonna be begged to be reved at by any guy with a honda, lower end neon, cavilier or something along those lines.
I've gotten people who tried to get me to race them and i am like dude i am still making payments so screw you!

whenever i go south of the lakes region this always happens to me. I don't get it. I drive my car like a grandma 80% of the time. On wed a kid in an older bmw decided it would be cool to dump his clutch in front of me at a stop sign. Rocks shot all over my front end. I was PISSED:spin:. People are stupid.:mad:

That's probably because they think they can beat the Wagon, but the Evo is intimidating with that AMS front mount!

Exactly my thoughts....the wagon doesn't look anywhere near as intimidating as the Evo....even my nuts shrink a bit around your Evo..lol

Funny you mention that. I got revved by a Ford Probe today. My car's bone stock, and a tame sedan wing. Must be the aggressive front end. :dunno:

I get that everywhere I go, except in Keene because the majority of the time I'm rolling with the Supra and the STI so people are like whoa....no thanks :lol: We do get the occasional kid in the civic, or the Saab with a BOV and a CAT delete who will rev at us but we dont waste our time with them :lol:

Yea they do...I toasted a GTI once going over Temple Mountain in Peterborough. Then another time I just played around with this kid in a Jetta and let him think he was keeping a lead on me then blew by him like he was at a stand still :lol: He gave me the high beams then disapeard from my mirror.

had this f-ing kid in a metalic purple civic hatchback with red racing seats mess with me the other morning...i can still see the look on his face in the rear view when he tried to jump on me at the start of the double lane...only needed third gear. i was gone...the only thing left was the rumble of the fart can fading in the distance and that freshly poked in the pooper look he had on his face getting smaller in the mirror...
i either need a different car or need to get used to this down here as well...

I never get $H1T in the SVX. The funny thing is from a stop a lot of things could take me... for a second. I realy get over looked a lot I think it' just cause people are too bussy going "WTF is an SVX?!" I only get people coming up behind me on roads and I just leave them in the dust and that's it. Or I'm just cruising and they think they are racing. Had a fake SRT-4 follow me down a SHARP S-turn that he should have slowed for. I really though I was gonna watch him loose itand go off the road but I guess we were going slow enough for the little FWD.

I've had the STI for 6+ months and only 2 people have wanted to battle. One was a Cougar, the other a retarded looking old guy in a Jaguar.

Like others have said....Evo > Subaru. Just the way it is.

At least I have a good reason to back out!
I have only been revved at once. I had a mid 90's accord with Altezza's and a full cracked bodykit in front of me the other day. They kept turning around and looking and pointing, and at every light I got a wicked "fast" launch from them. If i didn't have to turn, I might have given them a little show. Most of the time though, I barely get looked at. Suprising since I am sporting the 18s, and a catback... 08+ don't seem to get the same attention.

not yet but I think they will. they're still new so people may not know what they are, or that they're turbo you know. lots of clueless people out there...

It's the dudes in turbo diesels that like to try and fly by me/speed up and try to keep me from passing them.

LOL OKay yeah I do get teh Accords trying to race me and **** all the time. I think I freaked the **** out of a turbo swapped one about a year ago when he blew buy me on 95N and I had 2 people in the car and easily caught up to him and blew past him back when he was obviously full Vtech redline.:devil::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl ::rofl::rofl::rofl: I feel bad when i do that but I do still enjoying the look on people's face. Not more than when I get spotted by 3000GT guys though. They are so confused.

the evo does look more intimidating than the wagon!!! before owning a subaru...i would have never expected a wagon to do what they are capable of doing. i remember some of randy's wagon stories from the battle wagon...wagons are overlooked as a speed machine.

I was coming back from a UCONN car show on my bike, and some guy in a riced out black hatchback tried to get me to race. I finally caved after he taunted me for a few miles and obviously ended up beating him (barely):hide:

Weird, I never get people trying to race me in the SRT-4.
Actually I stand corrected, one guy in a black Evo tried to race me in Keene once, and he ended up blowing his headgasket (i think) and getting caught by the cops.
I do get a lot of jackasses who think its cool to sit right on my ass and rev the engine at every stop sign, but a couple seconds on the 2-step make them back right off when they see flames coming out the tailpipes.

my little 08 non-turbo sedan is one of the louder subarus i've seen in the area due to the resonated cat-back. for the most part people don't mess with me because i think they simply don't know what i've got under the hood. the only person who really tried to race me was a guy in a tuned s4 with bolt ons at a minimum :unamused:
other than that only a few local ricers think i have a wrx and chase me around. it sounds mean under load, but i'm super slow haha.

Nah i didnt see any which is surprising considering the 08 paint bloooooooooooooooooooooows
I had this dink in a stupid blue neon ride my @$$ from belknap subaru to the tilton outlets. If i had to hit my brakes for ANYTHING he would have hit me. I hate that ***** :spin: The kid had a full body kit and a massive wing all painted yet didnt have the few extra bucks to replace his super cloudy headlights. The best part was he totally stalled his car right after the winnisquan bridge at the lights. I lol'd...tool
