Sometimes when I'm feeling naughty, I go to the street where the
twentysomethings with hot imports go cruising and I tease them with my
exhaust note and little busrts of acceleration. Just so that you can
envision it, I am 47 years old, fat , with a full beard. In about
twenty attempts at engaging the hottest looking cars I can find, I have
yet to have a Honda or Mitsubishi driver show me what his car can do.
Except for the bigger than normal hood scoop, my car looks plain Jane.
I think the exhaust note says it all.
Incidentally, I do not believe in drag racing Subarus. I think hot
Subarus should be road-going versions of rally cars and drag racing one,
especially from a standing start, makes about as much sense as hauling
firewood in a Porsche. A decent clutch for my car costs about $600 plus
installation, so I'm not willing to smoke it doing a hole shot to beat
some premature ejaculator in a lowered Honda.
Meanwhile, back at exhaust...
While I would never dream of running catless, I had the opportunity to
test drive a car that was identical to mine in every way, except that
its owner had "sleeved" his stock cat. This man's car was measurably
faster and measurably louder than mine. His car spooled very quickly
and had instant throttle response with great low end.
