I think the STi really needs a bigger turbo capable of 350whp+ like the Evo.

An 18G would be nice considering the 2.5 L.

I don't think it's as fast as an STI or an Evo, it's just a quick car.

Yeah the 16G in the Evo is good for quite a bit of HP compared to the VF39/43/48 in the STI.

Ambystom01, I've seen you around ALOT on most of the posts, lol. I was just wondering, how do you know so much about the STi, Evo, and cars in general?

It has the same 0-60, 1/4 time, and trap speed as a Evo X and STI.

Put the three cars on a race track and I guarantee that the Evo and STI will be faster than the WRX.

The WRX is as fast, almost as fast as a Cobalt SS around a track, and a Cobalt SS is faster than Evo X MR, and way faster than an STI, so no, a WRX is as fast.

You are confusing reviews. The WRX is faster 0-60, in the 1/4 mile and around a 45 second autocross course as the Cobalt SS. It is not however faster around a track.
