So the STi can outbreak a Porsche? I find that hard to believe, but if the numbers say it's true, w00t!!

That list must not include up-to-date info for all models, since a 2003 SVT Cobra can definitely outrun the STi in the 1/4. I don't know why I'm taking the time to point this out as I don't have any special love for the Cobra, just found it a notable ommission.

Might've left it out accidentally when I typed it up. Will check.

Corrections
The mags generally will use a corrective formula against the raw times generated in their tests. This supposedly levels the playing field for Temp, Humidity, Elevation,...etc.
That might the explain the discrepencies between published Cobra 1/4 mile times and the "I saw a Cobra run 12s stock". Scott |
