apples to oranges. these cars should not even be compared. The GT is just that, a GT with the shelby name…which is why they compare in prices. its REALLY a $25k car against a $35k car. gay. STI is pretty siqq though. ---

I don’t see a point to it… What ever it is. Isn’t that what your right foot is for anyway? does anyone else think there’s too much gadgetry in cars these days? Its seems as if the manufactures are tying to out do each other with the most non-sensical doo-dads. Just get in the fucker, start it and drive teh GD thing. Fuck all this computerizeed BS. ---

To each his own, but I would certainly prefer the GT as a good weather toy over the STI. OTOH, for a DD here in B’lo that STI would be a nice ride. It really is, as was stated, apples to oranges in terms of price, intended use, design philosophy, etc. I doubt that this is a common comparison shop. People looking at one are not gong to be looking at the other, at least at the same time. As someone who once had a Subie for a DD and an American muscle car (Camaro) for fun I fell pretty confident that thinking of them as “competitors” is screwy. Rich ---

super dumb comparison - what did they really expect? The Shelby GT was built for fgts that like loud exhaust and rolling burnouts and over paying for a mustang GT. The STi was built for going fast on a course. If they really wanted some kind of fair comparison they should have pulled them into high school parking lots and see which one picks up more HS tail, then maybe it woulda balanced out? ---
