> [@chino](#): > > 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. I really think its a similar audience. Look at ClubWRX or NASIOC and see how many threads talk about guys who have or had a Mustang and then went to a Subaru. Take me for example. I have both. Either way, it was not a fair comparison at all. ---

I dunno. Magazine and forum banter aside, the Shelby performs well enough for a certain local autocrosser to spend his cash on it… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/08-sti-vs-07-shelby-gt/40541.md?page=1)
