Not to take away from their accomplishment, but this wasn't quite a stock STi.

Modifications included:

- Bigger turbocharger
- 6-pot brake calipers
- Flexible tower bar
- Front lip spoiler

<spec C* model items>
- Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres
- Aluminum hood

<Safety equipment>
- Full-bucket seat
- Roll cage
- 5-point safety belts

<Advanced items>
- Under cover
- Aluminum fenders

I believe the car was also lowered.

And having Tommi Makinen doesn't hurt either.

My guess on the X's time would be within a second (either way) of the IX.

 

Pay close attention to what is written on top of the video. It says 2010 WRX STi which is not the new 2011 WRX STi Sedan version. Video is fake......

 

Haha...that was a good joke?

This test occurred in April 2010. The car is a prototype 2011 STi.

yeah , it's still 2010 mate , they just testing out the car that is coming out end of 2010 which is the 2011 WRX STI sedan

like how the 2010 evo x came out 4th quarter of 2009

 

i just tried that and my evo IX MR time was 9:29 and my evo X GSR time was 9:19. not sure if that says anything about my driving or the game, but i pushed it very hard on both and i know how to drive right.

 

Well there we go. Might as well lock the thread up now.

 

rofl yup, it's now official

 

Haha, everyone knows video games are 100% accurate. Anyone played Need for speed Prostreet? The evo X is pretty good but the evo 9 MR is junk. Its crazy fast but it corners like an uncontrollable turd. So there it is, fact that the evo 9 is slower than an evo X
