    I'm amazed at how many phases of changes this car has gone through and everyone of them has been carefully thought out and put together.

    Quick 40-140 video:
    • 3rd, 4th, and 5th Gear


    Here's another video:
    • 3rd Gear Pull @ 32psi (boost gauge goes wacky above 30psi)
    • 2nd Gear Brake Boost, 3rd, 4th @ 30psi


    I found this video (not mine) and thought it was a funny comparison:
    • Stock 2011 WRX 0-140mph

    Stock looks OK up to around 60 or 80 but after that it's just a dog. 130-140 takes nearly 10 seconds! Speeding Bullet goes 0-140 in 10 seconds!

    That's only because the white ranger was operating under strict guidelines. The team didn't expect to exit the event as quickly as we did. But at least we were able to find out the owner can drive tens.

    This is in reference to Speeding Bullet at the MAP event last summer. They let them run all day Saturday and then booted after 2 passes on Sunday for no roll cage.

    Swype certainly has a knack for making conversations interesting, at the very least.

    Ben, I love how even your videos are of better quality then the rest of the pack. Doing everything proper, it really makes a difference. What are you using to record your videos? Almost seems like maybe a GoPro with a chest mount? Or a DSLR mounted somehow?

    The exhaust videos are all done with a Canon 7D or 5DII. The speedo videos are a Canon G12 on a suction cup mount like the GoPro comes with. It is stuck to the driver's side window right next to my head. It's not perfectly stable due to the longish arm but I like the angle the best. The speedo videos I've seen with hard mounted GoPros are all more stable but there really isn't any way to get the boost gauge in the shot.

    Very sweet, Ben! Car looks great! I'm really wishing I would have had the money for a newer WRX when I purchased my current ride.

    It's OK.

    :p

    Whenever. Could have rode along at DCTC if you didn't leave so quick!

    Thanks. My brother had a 2010 Mazda3 and then traded up to a 2011 MS3. It's pretty nice car. Cheaper than a WRX.

    Good, I have a set of worn Dunlops that Discount Tires wants to charge me $3/tire to discard. You just said tires, nothing about condition. Win/win for us both.

    Driving with you is crazy, but fun. I know in the back of my head you know what you are doing (most of the time) so that lets me enjoy the moment more.... while still white knuckle holding on for dear life.

    Ben puts the fear of God in me. :D

    You need to change your emblems to batman logos and the wheels should be powder coated black.

    Not planning on black wheels. I think the fully blacked out look is really played out at this point.

    Maybe Derek could whip up some emblems for me though.
