I wish I knew what they were saying about them. You could tell that the STi was understeering, but it definatly held its own. I really do not think that you could go wrong with either, but I am an Evo person so that is where I am heading...

An aftermarket one is always an option, but if you are not into that sort of thing, then you have only two options.

Wish I knew too... It's funny to hear the X driver laugh & talk all giddy when going around the corners.

There's some great shots in there of both cars, good video... we need sub-titles.

Thumbs up Subtitles by yours truly ;)

In the beginning the girls scream out "Good luck!"

The announcer says: Let's get started with a normal checkup!

Kinoshi(t)a (in the Evo X): Well I'm driving the SST model, it's more luxurious and there is a weight handicap, but on this twisty course...the Evo will definitely win

Tsuchiya (in STI): Well we've made it to the Togei Central circuit, the STI is an adult, luxurious gentleman like car and I'll be taking off gracefully letting Kinoshi(t)a head out first.

Announcer: The longest straight is 677m...is this a course where we'll see the full high speed potential of these cars on this technical course?

"Central Circuit" 3 Laps Battle

Announcer: Let's start the Time and Battle

Kinoshi(t)a (inside Evo): Haha...I'm taking off...I'm pulling away, what's Tsuchiya doing?

Announcer: On the warm up, is ok to be slacking off?

Tsuchiya: This is great in the corners. What's with that F1 shifting? I'm showing you how to shift! (around the turn) I'm losing to the electronics!

Kinoshi(t)a: Around this part the Evo is perfect! Let's do it! And should be pretty fast going around here. And braking, here no problem!

Announcer: This is a technical section of the course (lots of corners), but these 2 cars should have no problem.

Tsuchiya: Turn in a lil, a lil, let's go!

Kinoshi(t)a: Man, I'm not really pulling away! The "Drift King" is pretty damn good!

(video time 2:20)

Tsuchiya: Man the brakes are fading! Let's go!

Kinoshi(t)a: BRAKE!!! I'm not shifting down...hahaha...the wipers...I suck at using the Paddles!

Tsuchiya: So you're about to see the extreme magic of that F1 shifting (just like the GTR).

Announcer: Heading into the back straight away, the Impreza (with the HP advantage) should make some ground.

(Video inside Tsuchiya's STI) Announcer: But, on the technical section, the Evo is running away!

Tsuchiya: Man these electronics are holding me back!

Announcer: Hear we get to see Kinoshi(t)a's electronics on the Evo helping him out with the AYC killing the turns.

Tsuchiya: Let's go! Man, I can't really...(probably wants to say catch up

Kinoshi(t)a: Heh...what to say I'm pushing it, but it's pretty equal...

Announcer: They're able to slide around more than I imagined, but is this gonna mess with Kinoshi(t)a's lead?

Kinoshi(t)a: YES! With this kind of lead, I think I got it

Tsuchiya: Damn...

Announcer: We've entered the Battle's Final Lap!
(inside Kinoshi(t)a's Evo) Announcer: Kinoshi(t)a's changed up his driving style in the Twin Clutch SST!

Kinoshi(t)a: Give up on hard braking and let the gearing do the work. Nice I was really paying attention there because I'm not very good on the straights!

Announcer: Kinoshi(t)a is making better time than the warm up, this is gonna be a battle of brakes!

(video time 4:47)
Kinoshi(t)a: Yeah...hehe...he...woah!!!

Announcer: Tsuchiya is trying to hang on behind first place Kinoshi(t)a, but...

Tsuchiya: Man the understeer is really getting bad. (5:12) "God dammit!" I can't believe this...probably the tires!

Announcer: The Evo has the high performance package tires with tremendous grip, and the Impreza with the Potenzas...the end of this battle is going to be tough!

Tsuchiya: Man it got me...

Kinoshi(t)a: I did it! I did it!

Announcer: and the winner of the battle goes to Kinoshi(t)a in the Evo X!

Cute Japanese chicks: "YAY!!!!!!!!"

(Outside the cars)
Girl says to Tsuchiya: Ahh...you lost! and Tsuchiya replies..."I didn't lose! I was doing good in the beginning...but I lost in the shifting...

End of Video!

The US Spec STi is slower than the JDM STi shown in the video.
