As someone else mentioned, there was one that made nearly 1000 hp. It's running in the low 8s. If I recall, that's faster than the fastest STi is.

That obviously wasn't the Scion with 1000 hp.

I obviously can't say whether the video was staged, but that Scion did NOT sound healthy.

 

That scion sounds almost like a neon.

I didn't realize cobb stg 2 was 20psi for the STi. It's only like 15 or so for the wrx.

 

Commercial? Not likely. My parents shot better Super 8mm on our vacations!

 

rolling starts do not show the true potential of the sti!

 

Nice...but i have to think that the STi driver wasn't all that good... i could heard pinging...shifting too late. That said, STi shines in other areas e.g. the track.

 

hahahaha! that was just a joke man..

 

sti didnt down shift!!!!!

 

Ya know, the more I watch that video, it doesn't look like a race, but a guy in an STi recording his buddy in his Scion doing a "rolling take-off run."
