Yeah right. 323's are not fast in a straight line. By third the WRX should have 3 cars on you unless the WRXer is playing around.

I know this because I owned a 2000 323. It was great in the twisties (w/sport suspension) but terrible on the strip. Best times were high 15's.

FWIW disable the traction control every time you drive. The 2.5 doesn't have enough grunt to break traction hardly ever anyways.
