Race the STI, if you lose then so what. All you lost was a bit of pride perhaps and some petrol.

Stock vs. Stock an Sti would win, but not by much. I may be wrong.

It would be a driver's race really. If each car is modded then it still would be really too close to call. Any way you put it it would be a drivers race, unless one car was totally stocl and the other Supercharged with a bunch of other bolt-ons. Obviously that wouldn't even be fun to watch.

My buddy just picked up a new STI, and he was bragging when he got it that his car (stock for stock) was what... .3 seconds faster? 0-60... and like.. a tenth of a second faster in the 1/4 mile? This is all on paper btw. He knows I'll beat him if we were in a real race, because he is just learning how to drive manual... Though he doesn't even drive the car, and I doubt he'll ever want to race. :T

They're so close it will probably come down to the driver. Assuming they're both stock. Let us know how it turns out

I don't care how close it is to the Mustang GT - it's a very homely ricer:

Germans make rice?? Imagine that. LOL

Gotta disagree with you, it definately isn't attractive compared to mustangs, but it's a far cry from rice.
