First let me start out by saying that you're an immature ass for name calling. Grow up little boy.
Second, I've had 3 STi's ('04, '06, '07) so you're not above me on any level there. My '07 was running an APS 70mm intake, ATP3071 turbo, TGV deletes, APS inlet, Maddad equal length headers, 850cc injectors, Aquamist HFS-6, etc. Additionally I, fine tuned my car using Cobb software once my tuner built my base maps, so I'm confident that I know a helluva lot more than you :word:.
The only thing you're right about is 5 speed vs 6 speed gearing, but that still doesn't answer the million dollar question does it smart guy? Why is the NEW STi slower than all of the previous years by over 1/2 second?? Answer, is the TUNE!! The Sti does not make 305 crank HP any more....PERIOD. Now, if it were to be flashed to Cobb stage 1, then yes it will make more than 305 crank HP. Here's an example of a STOCK vs Stage 1 STi dyno:

Now try and tell me that the '11 is making 305 crank HP
.
The STi that I ran is bone stock, and the guy can shift, so go pound sand on that one.
