That STI is just sick. I would not mind owning an 07 STI to go along with my EVO 9 one day.

Jesus! That car was so fast around the track, I'm simply astonished about that car. Also the suspension looks top notch for sure just by watching the driving. I bet the driver was amazed too at how the car manuvered around the track, almost got too carried away but maintained control over the STi the whole time.

up for Crawford Performance.

O my, is that car FAST. It moved, oh boy did it move. It look like he had a lil problem catching the civic, but man... did he pass him by like he was standing still. Turbo spool sounded great and the car sounded good too.

That car is a beast. There's a reason why it's been winning quite a bit in its class

I honestly don't think that car is very good. The steering imput is enormous for the amount of feedback the car is giving him. At one point close to the end of the video the car understeers badly. The car probably isn't making 650 hp either. Not on a GT35 and all that with a stock manifold. I'd bet closer to 450-500hp. If you watch the JUN STI which they claim 450ps, it's much more frantic and powerful looking.

All said, not impressed with the traction, the underdamped suspension, the lack of a quick rack, the turbo response and the handling. (watch the fit put a huge gap on him in the first turns)

hahah

STI's make 1000awhp all day long.

They make 750awhp all day long with GT35r's.

Not un-practical for an STI.

typically evo owner response.
