a sti 04-07 on stock turbo will not hit 400awhp or come close. tq-hell yeah!
look at a war story i posted about 6-8 months ago. i raced flaco_gst with a 17c and all the supporting mods. all i had was a TBE and an OTS stage 2 map and i was at about 270awhp.
if you want to put a STi at a disadvantage, race him from a high roll like 50-60. anything below im sure he'll get ya.
i think the 6spd is only at a disadvantage at the tracks or from a dig. the 6sp will always keep the sti in its power band and always in boost rom a roll. but the 07 have longer gearing.
