Exclamation Mini Cooper S & Subi WRX

Well I somewhat recently got my "S", and had not really raced or "tested" it yet. But the other day, Wednesday to be exact, got a chance to do a quick run.

On the way to work, a WRX (not STI), with carbon hood, lowered, rims & exhaust was playing with me on heading South on the Howard Franklin Bridge in St. Pete Florida. After playing cat & mouse, I decided to WOT since there was a considerably large break in traffic. Got it all the way to hitting V-Tec hard in 6th. He was probally 3-4 car lengths behind me. He nicely gave me a couple high beam's and exited the highway.

Then on the way home on the same bridge just heading North, a little mini Cooper TypeS blows by me. I was doing 75 so she must have been hitting 100 at least. Exhaust sounded nice, almost like the back rumble of a Mustang GT Exhaust. It was lowered with rims and really large "offroad" type fog lights on the grill. So I took off. Finally caught up around 125mph and slowed down. We were both going about 85 and she tried to drop gears and take off. I dropped into 4th and dont remember seeing the car. lol. Coopers aren't much of a challenge.. lol

Thought I would share. Car has some balls. That was my first real push of the car and can say that I am really impressed. My CAI was screaming, and in 6th gear hitting vtec sounds like a damn V8 with a blower. HA-HA. Good times. God I love my Stewie!!
