STI vs MS3
 

Thought this was interesting. I did a search and it does not look like it's been posted before.

STI VS 300hp Mazdaspeed 3 race car Laguna - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com

Wow, STI owners admitting the awesomeness of the MS3. Mad respect. Except you know damn well they'd never admit it to us.

Post #24 gave me a good laugh. :D I like how he bolded the "do not"

I too have mad respect for the WRX/STi platform. The hook up from AWD off the line makes me a little jealous. The buy in is just so expensive for an STi. A little over 22 out the door for my non-tech was a major selling point. I reached around 2500 in mods and am still below the quotes I was getting for a new WRX. Plus, I would miss the quirks of the speed :hump:

that thread is from 2010

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. Reminds me of when I had my 03 evo and the people on the boards would give mad respect to the neon srt-4.

The pistons are weak in the STi.
It's why I sold my 2011 STi with 9800 miles on it and picked up a 2012 MS3.
The STi is still way superior at autocross, but on a track the advantage disappears. If I can fix the camber in this car it would help a lot.

2003 WRX -> 2008 MS3 -> 2011 STi -> 2012 MS3
I won't be going back to Subaru because of the way SoA treats their customers and how they handle warranty work.
