You shouldnt have to worry about an STI unless it has a fair few mods, if Evo 8s are anything to go by i can confirm a moderately modded one wil not take you. Most impressive thing about this car is its mid range engine go to 30mph down shift into 2nd with the auto stick and go full throttle, not many cars can keep up!
