The LAST time I raced a Subaru....

I kicked ***.
Silly story. I was on the way home from a car club meeting in the Charger one night, stopped at a light. 3 lanes merge into 2, I am in the left, the WRX is in the right. I look over, he blips the throttle a bit. I smiled and looked away.
The light turns green and I leave the line like usual: Just a few rpms short of breaking traction, which isn't much. WRX launched hard to get in front of the middle lane guy. I see him get a jump on me and I leaned into it a bit more and we are evened up. He shifted into third as I hit second and I am gaining. I hear detonation in my engine so I lift a bit. I am still leading, but I hear his car screaming. I hit drive and a moment later he shifted again. By the time I look down I am doing 70 in a 55 and I let out of it. I then realized that my Gear Vendors was in OVERDRIVE the whole time. Instead of having the 3.91 gear, I was racing in a ratio of 3.05.
I'd like a "do-over" with race gas and the OD off.
THAT would certainly be a blowout!
