0-60 mph WRX STi 4.9 sec
1/4 mile:13.5 sec @ 103mph

Motor Trend test results:
Price WRX STi $32,000-$32,500
0-60 mph WRX STi 4.87 sec
1/4 mile: 13.23 sec @104.6

In reality both are same cars. It’s the driver that really makes the difference.

but subaru is still in it full time. I hated the evo and the wrx/STi, but lately they have grown on me so much that one of those will prolly be my next car. Im just waiting to see what ford will offer.
