do you think that if they got the same driver to test both the GSR and the SST the GSR would win? i mean it depends on how good the driver is with a manual, but say they got The Stig to do it on Top Gear, which one would win?

no, on a track sst with all other variables the same will be faster than manual. same for all the other automated manuals - dsg, dct pdk, etc etc. manuals are still faster than traditional torque converter automatics though

over 3 sec, that is major. That fact alone literally puts out the STI from the Evo league.
It is a said news actually.

It's a darn shame. Both companies are making their models more soccer mom friendly. In a couple years the Evo will just be another hybrid.

Wow that video is awesome, I really hope that they will keep the rivalry between evo and sti, and continue to improve and compete with each other.
