thats what happens when you compare a FQ360 X (360hp
) to a 300 hp sti in the first video.... of course the X will win.

and in the second video when the compared apples to apples the STI came out on top!!


don't matter how ugly he thought the car was it was still faster then the X mr period!

yeah the first video is not an equal comparison.
I still do not understand why you need all the screens and crap like that in a car.... I see my car as something fun to drive not another method of watching TV...

OT: if you guys are looking for better quality videos of Top Gear and Fifth Gear, check this site http://www.finalgear.com/shows/ .

To bad the STi doesn't have AT option like the Evo, I would have replace my lady Murano with an STi.
