Some of the test guys wanted to see how the new WRX STi Jspec would work against the 911. More of just a fun drive than a real race:

Nice pics! The WRX looks really nice with the lower spoilers and fog light covers.

These were from the STi session at Nurburgring. They also ran the WRX and glimpses of the type RA.

Basically they mentioned that the WRX was easier to handle than the STi. The STi has the 6speed box, and stiffer springs. With the 6 gears they had a perfect gear for every corner - keeping the rpm above 4k+. They just had to see it run with a 911 at the end of the video.

The STi got a bit slideways in the rain, and because of the conditions, they didn't get to show the performance of the 4 pot brembos on it.

Notice how the WRX front looks much cleaner with the fog covers and the tinted projector headlights? I think it looks awesome.
