Question Top Gear Q: How fast does the Stig take the STi around the track?

I was just watching Top Gear and was wondering what times our Impretzas pull... Anyone know what times various model/year STi's make it around the track? I tried to freeze frame my TV on a random episode but couldnt make it anything out

I'm sure he'd do it if he had $80k just lying around under the couch. And how much to insure that thing, I don't even wanna think about lol. $300, $400 / month?

But wow... I didn't know the GTR did their lap so fast. That is crazy, especially when you take into account that if you took the average Joe he's probably do the fastest lap in the GTR
