Silly comparison IMO. Surprised it comes from Automobile Mag, but then again they did just layoff 90% of their staff and fire Jean Jennings.

Perhaps silly comparo's are their future.

Crap rag since super pompous David E. Davis started it with with pompous Jennings when they got booted from C&D in 1986. Sorry to say that almost all American car rags of today are just that.

It was about what I expected. AWD wins off the line and then STI brick like aero and awd drivline losses conspire to give back that which it took at the launch.

I'd bet a PDK Cayman w/launch control would have had the STI by a few car lengths at the end.

Still a silly race IMHO. Totally different cars, and that Cayman would absolutley nurder the STI if you throw in some turns and braking.

Sti is a decent car. But not the same target market.

Why use a top model of the WRX Sti vs a base Cayman, why not a Cayman S
