A stock STi running a 103 is a god damn miracle. They are not quick. STi's are great 0-80/90 cars. After that, they are pretty useless.

No, I'm talking about both, esp. 07+ STi's. I worked retail and corporate for Subaru. If you think we haven't taken out a stock STi and WRX and gone at it, you're wrong. They are a dead even race. In fact, the last time I did it the stock WRX pulled 3/4 of a car when the STi shifted into 4th and held it.

Well, we had a new go pro black edition of my buddy's in the 350z. He was using the phone app to activate the GP and it failed miserably. We were going to rerun 2 more times as we agreed in a dig and a low roll. But the 3rd gear synchros stopped that idea.

Lol you must be on crack or somethin. Yeah, 70hp more and a close ratio 6 speed is gunna lose to a car with less power, same-ish weight and far less torque. I suppose if you have no seat time in the car and drive with one hand up your *** yeah. I'm telling you my bone stock 04 Subaru Sti walked ( this should be no question ) regular wrx's and even the evo's ( which is a driver race IMO ). you can spout all the bullshit you want about being a sales rep and "going at it with cars" but unless you got real seat time learning how to drive a car your opinion is useless to me. I'm speaking real world experience, dispute my 86 mph trap in the 1/8th and I and any competent person will call your bs. What did you run at the track? Exactly. Drive one a time or 2 and your a pro I guess, I put 60k miles on mine in a year, I knew that car in and out, had no problem drivin the snot out of that thing. Wasn't a roll monster but would walk alot of cars when you are actually able to launch and bang gears with it. I'm not tryin the be a dick here, I'm just telling you how it is. My numbers aren't "guesses", they are real life numbers lit up on the traps and printed on the time slips. It is what it is and it shouldn't be this hard to admit when your wrong. Sorry dude.
A 2.5 WRX and an STi is a dead nuts even race. You have real world experience with your old car. I have real world experience with dozens of WRX's and STi's, modded and stock. My demo was a 2011 STi. I ended up putting thousands of miles on it. Driving is not an issue. Banging gears is not rocket science.
There is some validity to the claim that early STi's were the quickest, but you're giving the model line too much credit.

Oh my bad, I was goin by him stating it was a 04 ish Sti (as you know I'm sure, the 04 was the first year for the Sti in the us, also 05 was the only year without any body changes beyond little things from the 04, both of which were 2.5 vs the 2.0 in the wrx those years) so I was going by the facts given and not assuming in the end what would make your facts right vs mine. I also remember stating they are not roll monsters, a dig race would have been better for the Sti but I still thought the Sti would lose. I'm not over crediting the Sti, I'm just stating facts. Compared to a 04/05 Sti the new ones are slower, heavier, softer, and more "family friendly" doesn't scream race car to me. Good races tho op, wish I had any kind of action around here. We only have 1 new 5.0 in our town but he knows it wouldn't be fair to race, we just got 2 new zl1's and one of them is a cocky old man that might need a race tho!
