Default sti vs. c5 (non Z06) which would win?

stock for stock? 1/4 mile? I've driven both and the sti seems quicker but it may be just the way it "feels"

probably the c5. the trap speed will almost definitely be higher for the c5. time might be very close bc the sti has awd.

that seems so funny to me. For all of this time, i've been comparing the stats on car after car, and i've always held the z06 on the top of my list, but for some reason the regular c5 has slipped through the cracks even though it has better acceleration than most cars out there....perhaps because you will see 50 on any daily drive

I think the Corvette would win even if a girl was driving. I saw an STI at the drag strip and I was not impressed!

Dry track or wet track

By and large all the magazine times are the same...

By and large all of the time slips Ive seen are the same.

The Sti spanks it at first then the c5 catches up. Its kinda like this:

< quarter = Sti
Quarter = equal
> quarter = c5

ET close but, but trap speed def the C5.

On the same topic I've see the EVO about the same 0-60 as the Z06 because of the launch, but after that the Z06 is way faster.

gosh darn it, you guys are really making me rethink my purchase of a mini cooper s (picked it as a small car that my company will basically pay for, plus I love the looks I get in it.)

Although I have not got mine yet, I definetly think I will go check out the STI next week.... Grabbing a MCS off the lot in a few weeks....

DAMN YOU if I go for a STi, seriously though, DAMN YOU ALL!!!
