being a subie fan I find the ESX to be an embarassment...how can you have a $90k car that is slower than it's stock form....It did sound like it had issues though...

that guy in the wrx seemed like he really screwed up the start

great find + fast server.

i was just reading about this in my C&D.

BTW: esx sucks a big one. there are many, many, many more WRXs that smoke this 90K sti. Ali must be sucking someone off to get this kind of coverage. what gives?

That ESX launch made baby Jesus cry. Wow, that was terrible.

It's too bad the STi had issues with the launch. The HKS Evo was impressive, but it came with a price in mod costs.

European octane is rated differently than ours. I'm pretty sure they are just about even.

Its pretty easy to find on google. Just a simple search for "gasoline octane europe us" will do.

Heres a quick link to a discussion on the AutoWeek forums:

just to clarify, i have the Car and Driver in print, and it mentions how Memo Gibey, the pro driver behind the wheel, had never before launched an AWD car,ever.

Easy Street was one of the originals to get huge numbers in drag wrx's, and i have always noticed how C&D consistently botches AWD launches leading to shitty times.
