uh no... he could not. Tune and intake is maybe equivalent to the old WRX power, perhaps slightly more... not a 305hp STI. I'm calling BS/ guy didn't really drive it.
You obviously know very little about STis 
. 2011 STis make closer to 270 hp due to the god aweful tune that they come with from the factory. Why do you think the new WRX clocks better acceleration times with less power?? Why does the 2011 lose .5 second in the quarter mile compared to the older models?? Simple answer: they are overrated from the factory. Not only that, but WRX/STi acceleration numbers are obtained by revving the engine and dropping the clutch to jump out of the hole, so a roll-on isn't exactly their specialty.
Do some research before calling BS on something that you apparently know jack shit about.

I agree with a lot of this but a distinction should be made between car enthusiast and driving enthusiast. You can be a total car enthusiast and not care to drive a manual etc. But for 'driving enthusiast', if you don't have the skills w/the 3 pedals, for me, I just don't buy it. As to the GTI or STI comparo, the GTI wins for me hands down on having a combination of livability, class, styling and performance.

not even close. my sti was pretty much bone stock and i would race a stage 2 gti, and it would be the same results over and over again. Considering most STI's are at least stage 2, most of the time, an STI owner wont even look at GTI's on the road since they know its no competition but they dont hate on the GTi since they know its a different class type of car. GTI is not a fast car, but its a nice car. i gave up performance/speed for comfort. if youre looking for speed, theres so many cars out there thats faster. But the GTI has nice interior for the price.

if you're talking to me , you're a retard. I was saying the STI driver wasn't driving well/good, and was siding with the STI being faster, not the GTI.
And as for as me "knowing jackshit about subarus"? you're right, I haven't owned 2 STI's and a WRX
... and for the "crap" tune, like someone else already said, most STI's are at least stage 1, if not 2, and they are not 270bhp stock, that's ridiculous... as for the 0-60 time difference with the rex, anyone who knows anything about Subarus has the simple , simple answer to this - the 5spd gearing is better for the 0-60 in the wrx than the 6spd in the STI. So WTF are you talking about!??!I ran a 2011 STI 1 month ago from a pull started at around 20 mph. The guy was probably stock. Without a doubt, those car are fast at low speed. It was a dead event until I started to pull him (1 car) at 110 mph to 115 mph.
So, a stage2 well supported can beat a stock 11 STI but its VERY close.
I think both cars, gti or sti/wrx, are pretty much solid and u cant be wrong if u are a car enthusiast.

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.

35hp down on what is advertised, ok... where is the class action law suit then, seriously? that should be done.... I still have a hard time believing the experience, but hey, I wasn't there and maybe you're also a better driver? I haven't surfed around as much on IWSTI in a while, but yes, you've done a lot with Subies, I have too - and you made no mention of the gearing before, but whatevs man, whatevs - peace on earth, bro!!
But wait, you just called me a little boy! that's name calling! :laugh:WAAAAWAAAWAAA... anyway, I'm done man, thats cool that you beat an STI, so cool...
Another dynamic that impacts the results is the 91 octane CA gas. Every Sti that I've had or tuned knocked like crazy on this fuel out here. If we were on the east coast the results likely would have been a bit different because Subies definitely knock less on good 93 octane fuel.
