Power numbers in all those cars have increased over time to give them more performance.. yet we are still dealing with a STi with 250-300HP stock.. and it keeps getting heavier and heavier.

STi needs to drop 4-500 lbs and pickup 100HP. In the mid to late 90's a stock Sti would hang with most of those cars.. not anymore though.... and certainly not from a roll.
