i don't think it's BS... he's got it lowered on progressive rate springs, and a stiff shocks. He got R-Compounds for christs sake...
I can see he handling just fine a twisty road that isn't like all 10mph hairpins, or something that's not mt hamilton. It would hand an STi it's *** on a road like hwy 9.

That's okay - Hot Rod Magazine did a drag and road race test of the STi vs the stronger-than-Mach1 Cobra Mustang and the STi bested it in most categories.

"A Suby WRX Sti is a formidable AWD car....I actually had a spirited drive following one on the "loop"...I ended up passing him...My Mach has Tokico Illuminas 5 way adjustable struts/shocks, H & R Super Sport Springs and Toyo RA-1 D.O.T. competition tires... he couldn't keep up....the Mach showed him the tail lights the rest of the way through the twisties....when we stopped at a rest area he couldn't believe an American "Pig" could go around a corner so well...LOL..!!! It takes very little modifications to make the Mach handle pretty well...
Not to mention very little costs...under $500.00 for the suspension mods..tires we're way more :spinem:"

I took a Mach1 that was dropped and basic boltons on the downhill on the back of 9 pretty hard the other week. Although that is the same road where some guy in a 91 celica ST raped me. I've caught up on an STI on that same road, but then he hit the straight and broadened that gap, and I gave up.

well, not raped by the definition of the law, but more like in the sense where I got out driven by a person who didnt feel the need to use his brakes and was supposedly a driver for signal auto and that he ran the most perfect line I have ever witnessed in my life on that road.

werd... after the conversation i had with a mach-11 owner and his wrx buddy last friday... i think that if this is a true story, then it is a rare one. but with ra-1's it's believeable.
