wtf!?! I could of easily launched better than that! That guy in the sti obviously can't launch for sh*t. That was one of the worst comparison videos I've seen solely because of the driver. And just made everybody involved in that look like a KOOK, or like they are trying to sell the evo. That was funny to me

Yeah the STi sounded liek **** in the 0-100-0. something was wrong with it. and he had a bad start for sure. no way and evo would spank it that bad.

this is what the show didnt tell you. this is from harman motives site.

For the show, both cars were making ~300whp on our Mustang Dyno (ie they were even). Furthermore, difficulty with launching the STI led to much slower 1/4mi and 0-100-0 results than the Evo. However, the track results are quite accurate.

At least the STI won't break or void your warranty for the stupidest things like the Evo.

The Evo has so many gizmos on it that it can make any zero into a hero. It pretty much drives itself especially with that DCT.

Put it on a tight auto-x course and I bet it will get its *** handed (3500+ lb pig) by little miatas, MINIs, and integras.
