I also wonder what a stock STI would do against that Cobra. He seemed to have a damn fine day racing.
STI pulls 1.5-2 cars on the launch, cobra hooks, stops the STI's pulling and starts gaining ground, passes the the STI around the 1/8 and keeps pulling. Usually

Ya know I have always really liked the way the Mustangs look and I respect their performance but I just can't get myself to buy one. I drove an 07 Mustang GT California package 3.55 gearing. It was damn fast but didn't feel as 'fun' to drive as my 'balt or an STI. The Evo was a dissapointment to me as well on the street. Still plenty fast but not as gut check worthy as I had hoped. Maybe if I get my ass to the track I'll change my mind but as far as driving for pure please and no racing the STI and the 'balt are the most fun for me.

Chris in the STI has no power after the 1/8 mile.
He puts an easy 2-3 cars on me on a launch too, then I catch him and pass im top of 3rd gear. Thats on the street though... He's weak at the track.
I just cant believe I was door to door with an 03 Cobra... I thank Chuck aka Boostjunky (guy in the yellow Stage 3 SRT-4) for Re-Tuning my car, made a HUGE difference!
