The quintessential family Maytag Camry smoking the GTI is the real shocker.
I just can't fathom how the WRX (265) is quicker than the STi...There is no way. STi doesn't weigh THAT much more than the WRX, right?

STi doesn't weigh THAT much more than the WRX, right?WRX has a 5-speed; STI has a 6-speed.Just a guess, but maybe the WRX gets to 60 in first gear, while the STI needs a shift into second. It's a meaningless difference in the real world, but can have a significant impact on zero-to-sixty times.
In the Camaro fuel economy thread, there seems to be some thinking that the Camaro attaining the same economy as the "lowly" V-6 family sedans is a big deal. How about the fact that the V-6 family sedans are nearly as quick?
