Obviously in some instances a STI with 30% more power can't be a match for a WRX
Hence my WRX's 12.6 with 330bhp and fat-toms STI's 12.8 with 430bhp
So sometimes I actually undersell the WRX.

All I know is your car in principal proves my theory of the WRX being a far more efficient car. In fact it goes as far as making my calculations look less favourable for the WRX. The 600bhp STI I posted recording a 12.0 doesn't especially help my observations either.

Your mate claimed you bought it with 430bhp. I have no idea of the power levels when you purchased your car. I expect we'll never know due to your contradicting posts.

How does an sti running a 12.8 with 260 bhp prove your theory as you needed 70 bhp more to get a 12.6
All that proves is the sti is the faster car, but everyone knows that already.

Yep, 420bhp onwards v a 350bhp WRX and that 20% window is eroding, a 350bhp WRX v a 460BHP and even driver skill is starting to be taken out of the equation. 350 v 450 is possible but like I say a struggle.
At 460bhp an average STI driver will be spinning, hitting the limiter, struggling to shift accurately and efficiently.

Enough if this tosh it's time you were the sole occupant of my ignore list.

He knew several things you initially denied but I found to be true by reading your back posts.
Did you buy the car off him or something? as he seems to know you better than you know yourself.

Yes I bought a pre modded 430 bhp sti from an Immigrant who can't speak English and drives a wrx before he joined the site then proceeded to map it to 350 bhp then take off all the parts that are needed to run mid 400 bhp then re buy the parts again from here and refit them again........about as far fetched as your wrx claims to be fair!

I've change the game. The WRX is now the car to have. It's incontrovertible, you need upwards of 450bhp to be sure that you're going to beat that certain "poverty spec" car that rolls up next to you at the lights. At 450-600bhp kiss goodbye to having fun in 1st, 2nd and maybe 3rd gear, especially in the wet.
A 450bhp STI rivalling 370/350 WRX is a very forgiving machine, even in the snow.
