David, I'll bring it down and we'll run it against the TT on Palomar
Never said the base WRX was slow, or even as slow as my pork chop TT, but I'll let you run interference up the South grade and we'll see who's first to the Lake Henshaw overlook

IMO a stripper WRX as a DD does is not appealing. Guess I'm aging faster than you as I enjoy a plusher ride for the 95% of the time I'm just commuting in the car. Hope this WRX works out for you and plz post some pics when you get a chance.
