Default so he's got to be modified?

he probably has a 200# or more advantage also.

my point is he obviously is not stock unless you are doing something majorly wrong.

Default I think they are geared differently for low end power, they give

up at top end, thats why stock they have such low 1/4 mile times, less weight, better gearing even with less hp then other cars that are pushing 400+, the STI is still the quicker car, then it starts to lose it at 3-digit speeds. I had a buddy of mine run one with an 01 cobra, about 400 at the crank, STI pulled hard off the line and the cobra started realing him in at about 65, AWD helped too
