Ya, but the Sti and Spec C are ugly and I am not a good enough driver to make use of the very small difference in lap times between the two cars.

Why dont they compare it to the FQ400 then? Why just a regular 9?

2. of course everyone's going to be biased for their car...(oh but it was only evo IX GSR, why not use MR...STis are ugly...evos can turn better...blah blah)
3. only starts unnecessary flame war
4. who gives a crap?

Good "jorb" burningmoney. I was actually surprised how well the (JDM) IX GT did against the STi Spec C.

No it is not the best performer.
It is the equivalent of the EVO RS model.
It has nowhere near the power of the FQ-400.
In fact the Spec-C would be hard pressed to beat 320, let alone 340, 400 etc...
