Notice how they use the FQ-360 not the base Evo which is slower around the test track than the STI.

Most owners won't keep theirs stock so a FQ360 fits the bill.


Besides this is a Evo enthusiast board, congrats to Mitsu... Subaru "URABUS"

Same holds true of the STI then, why bother comparing a stock STI to the FQ360 if most STIs are going to be modified to make 360 HP?

If you notice majority of the comparison wasn't even about performance. It was about styling, handling, etc.

It takes more to make an STi to reach 360 WHP than it does an Evo

Notice that even Subie owners hate the new STI? Notice how far it finishes behind the Cobalt and EVO;
