I'm sure I could make that 7k or so.
btw, the top gear Evo/STI review was fun (S11E02), here's a short clip  can't find the full review on youtube though.

Well the thing is the STi has been dumbed down a bit, which for some people (more people than not or else it wouldnt have happened) its a good thing. being more comfortable and more equiped than a GSR while being less $$ than an MR, help make the car a competitor

Sti actualy lets you dicate where the power goes. Lets you put up to 90% of the power to the rear wheels so it feels like a RWD car if thats what you want.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
