Mustangs are great drag cars but terrible handling cars and with the plethora of speed parts available it's not uncommon to see 10-11 sec Mustangs running around but they'll never out corner your P-car. I think the WRX is about the same. Besides you were going non-turbo against turbo both with relatively small displacement, let him take on a 930 and see who gets spanked. The truth is a good handling suspension is terrible for drag racing and a good drag suspension is impossible to corner with. We P-car owners with our 30 year old technology losing to new cars probably feel no worse than the old hemi/bigblock guys losing to Mustangs and Grand Nationals a few years back. I'll start to worry when a naturally aspirated small displacement car can smoke my old P-car in a straight line AND around a corner. Besides that look at old Vettes, most people love them because well they have timeless beauty, just like the 911 series. The WRX and others don't have that charactor.
