Run a Mustang GT vs an Sti in 5-60MPH, and I guarentee that the Mustang would take the Sti by at least a few carlengths, being that the Sti wouldn't have the AWD advantage and loses more power through its drivetrain than the Mustang. Not to mention the GT doesn't have to worry about turbo lag in the lower RPM's, the power is there when you need it. You need to compare apples with apples, comparing the 0-130MPH times an AWD car to that of a RWD or FWD car isn't accurate because the AWD vehicle is almost always going to win due to the launch. Some of you would like to make the STi out to be some kind of supercar, which is a joke, because its nothing spectacular without a hard lauch. Thats not to discredit the car though, its still very nice overall and very quick, but the exaggeration gets out of hand sometimes.
