how is it that the 06 wrx simularly modded can beat stis/evos? they get alot more torque ....not exactly sure how.. anyideas?
STi has more weight on it b/c of brakes ect. If its same power and weight is issue of course WRX MY06 will win.
The STI is about 200lbs heavier. If you bolt the same mods on both and both are tuned you will get similar power and torque. The wieght is the main factor in which is faster.
also in the 1/4 mile, im sure the gearing comes into play too... with the 5 speed u can stay in gear longer and have one less shift... but highway pulls are another story
