If they really want to race with an STi, then trade in your X-Fire for a SRT6 and youll give the STi a run for the money. and best of all with an auto., no expert launches required. That MB engine is amazing with the gobs of torque it has, just wish they would release it in a 6spd. manual then i'd consider trading in one of my X-Fires on a SRT-6 manual.

I had the same problem with my S2000 every kid in a souped up whatever car would want to race me it was sickening. And not that the STi is a bad car or not worthy of its rally heritage, its just that the add ons seem to attract that crowd, the headlights, scoop and rear wing, and wheels and etc...

But to each his own i guess...
