    Who did you expect to win? Even tho the WRX has a lot less power in a 1/4 mile drag race it will win 95% of the time. MS3 will beat it from a roll though.

    Imagining good drivers then from a roll, yeah absolutely. From a dig, not a chance.

    EDIT: After watching the video I'm pretty sure both cars are capable of more.

    I am sure the trap speed from the ms3 is higher though.

    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

    One clip certainly doesn't make for a good car comparo in the 1/4. Hell, if they were taping at Race City on Friday night, they would have seen me toast an STi and have a 4 mph top end advantage....even with a run that is .7 seconds off my best. Eveyone knows what the real outcome should be with equal drivers though.
