You just never know with any Turbo car these days. Theres lots of tuned STIs that will rape any Volvo stage 3 setup. The key is getting away from the dinky Volvo 18T& 19Ts and getting something that doesnt fall on its face up top. I couldnt wait to get rid of my 18T, but then again i like big Turbos that pull like a MF all the way to 8K

don't feel bad about this. an STI will run mid 13's off of the showroom floor with a halfway decent driver behind the wheel. I have a heavily modified WRX now, but when i still had the factory EJ205 motor in it, my S70 was much faster in a straight line. Someone mentioned that they respond really well to bolt ons and a tune, which is very true. My first build consisted of an STI turbo (VF39) STI intercooler, uppipe, Walbro 255, and 650cc injectors. After a tune i was putting down 273whp/267wtq, which was a huge jump from my base run of 190whp/192wtq. The STI puts down 240/240 if you'd liketo use that as a reference point...symmetrical AWD doesn't hurt either.

lol, you seem bitter
