Default Subi Legacy tried to hang with me this morning....it now has 2 bent rims....

On my way to work this morning I took off from a stop light pretty quick, and noticed a Subi Legacy was trying to hang on my rear bumper. Whatever. So when I made a hard right hand turn, I took at an aggressive speed, but well within the limits of my car....heck, it would have been within the limit's of my wife's '97 OEM sport A4. I check my rearview and see the wobbley subi come sliding through the turn way too fast and watch his tires howl in protest and slide him smack into the concrete median. The car's wheels bounced off the concrete median very hard and he swerved the car back and forth as he slowly regained control. No way his rims survived that without a heavy does of bending.

If you have a WRX, by all means race me and you will beat me good. All other Subis; save your rims and realize what you can and cannot hang with.....

Default RE92s are some of the worst tires made...

and they come stock on the WRX(not sure what the Legacy has). So chances are that any sport-package equipped A4 with the SP8000s will hand the Rex it's *** in the corners. It's the first mod people are doing to that car and it changes the handling completely.
