I've taken down my share of WRX's myself. If the WRX doesn't do a 5k clutch dump, they aren't going to get a huge lead. I took down a 2004 WRX just the other week. I wasn't used to these tires yet, and so he took me off the line by a little bit, but once I got up into my secondaries, I caught ground, was past him in 2nd, and had 2 cars by the end of 3rd. All I know was that he had an exhaust and blow off valve. 60' times are the main reason the WRX's can run the times that they do. I've had some close calls with a couple of WRX's from a roll, so I knew they had probably turned the boost up, or I would have slaughtered them stock.
