So quick update guys ! He drove up on his is350 today and said he messed up his Clutch.
I asked what he got under the good he invited me over since it was headed to the shop to get replaced and Intercooler changed &turbo old turbo looked small compared to some I've
Seen before . Agreed to a friendly race at the drag strip after he gets it back
He opened the hood and to my amazement I saw nothing too impressive but yet again I don't know Subaru for nothing I snapped a pic ill post it after I figure out
How to put images up on here never done it .

if he is a young guy, any turbo car will make him feel like he's the fastest on the road. his goal is to beat a more expensive car and then brag you spent too much for a slow car or how he spent 1/8th the price and is faster.

Get some pics!!!
While I'm obviously a Suby fan boy, I love the ISF. I wanted comfort, luxury, reliability and a tire shreading V8. Definitely not a Subaru.

Just one example of how powerful they can get and that's a v8 never would it happen in a ISF but sure would be nice

I've raced a few STI's on the strip and I guess I've been lucky to never have been beat by one because I know there are some fast ones out there. They've ranged from stock to claimed 350whp. My closest race, the STI had me until the 1/8th mile, but the F has the ability to reel the competition in quickly after that with the 8 speed gearing and V8 pull.

Not to be mean, but you've not told us enough to make any sort of decision.
My previous car was an STi and faster than most ISFs. You could be in for a world of hurt. My car was a mid 11's car. Problem was that I'm not a good drag racer.
As far as racing from a roll, a perfect AWD launch from 0mph is something awesome. The problem is that its hard to get right. That and it often puts all sorts of strain on the drivetrain. I've known plenty of people that snapped half shafts in STis when they launched too hard.

Anyways, he is baiting you. Be smart and just say no. If you knew for a fact it was stock, go for it. But if he's playing like he is, there is nothing to gain anyway because you got the better car even if his is faster.
Tell him to race me in my Nissan from a roll instead
