Also the fact that it has a small turbo for response means that the turbo can't flow enough CFM to make big power on the top end means that it is NOT a top end highway run car.

4) STI's advertise 300hp when in reality they make around 230WHP stock. There is a BIG drivetrain loss.

5) G37 Should keep up with an STI stock for stock, but at stage two, it will not.

I am shocked about the authority with which some of you speak when you don't know enough to make accurate statements.

As far as racing cobalts...come on lol..a cobalt? Were you really that surprised?
all good points.. and yes having owned a stage two STI i would never say that.. but thats not even close to a fair comparison.. and while it is a cobalt.. you cant diss them to much.. its a fast car for the money.. just like the SRT-4
