2000 WS6 vs 06 STI I'm drivin home from work tired as **** and hear a couple cars take off a few cars in front of me. The two cars were a sti and a new eclipse. The sti killed the eclipse without a problem. So after a few miles i get beside the sti with open road ahead. I honk it off and we take off i start to pull a little in 1st have half a car by top of 2nd and he misses third. We go through a few turns up a hill and hit it again on the next straightaway same i pull him through 1st and 2nd by a car then my dumbass misses third
. So we make a u-turn and try one more time. We both hit it and are even through 1st then i start to pull. I shut down about 140 and was 4-5 cars ahead
. I didn't think that car would run that good but it kinda impressed me. He was a cool guy about it though. He said all he had was a new downpipe.
My ws6 has a flowmaster and the free mods. both 6 speeds

Good kill!
I was definitely suprised that the STI's aren't as fast up top as I thought. I had heard that a couple stock ones had hit a 105 mph, so I thought they'd put up a good fight against an LS1, but my stock G8 is able to pull a stock STI up top.

When I was looking for an AWD/4X4 I had looked into the subies and from what I read they're geared for real quick low end accel and fall off pretty quick at high speeds. Always figured it was to help combat turbo lag.
