I raced a Stage 2 04 rex and It was runnin high 13s. At the time I only had lid, midlengths, and xpipe and I ran a 13 flat against his 13.8. He launched on me pretty hard but I caught him by the sixty foot. Me on street tires. The thing was pretty quick considering it was stock with just the tune. An STi is half a liter bigger than the just a WRX and I've seen the Cobb tuned cars go 12.70s. Haha I just love those cars so I like talkin bout em. More to the point though, you should be alright. If you race him at the track, don't let the AWD scare you...It's really not all it's cracked up to be considering FWD eclipses cut better 60s than the AWD ones lol.

rolls are for eating not racing guys! You guys will rip a STi a new one after 70mph, but their fast 0-70. Most of those STi guys are total ricers and really suck at shifting. with comperable drivers a stock sti and stock 02' firehawk is pretty much in the driver on the 1/4 run.
