While I agree that a stock or mildly (properly) modded STI should beat an APR 2.0T VW, statements like this piss me off. What is your fairly modded VW? A 12V VR6? A chippped Toureg? A Cabrio with wheels?
Have you raced your stock WRX against an APR tuned 2.0T GTI? Believe it or not, not all chipped VW’s are the same.
