The stock sti turbos dont put out as much air flow, and I also used to wonder does the sti short gearing hurt 1/4 mile as you guys likely are passing the traps in 5th therefore one more shift needed.
And in addition to that, I think a sti guy is less likely to gut his car down. That awd motorsports evo was a highly prepped, gutted out race car basically. The only thing stock about it was the turbo. But I do think that Evos have it a little easier in making a lot of power ( 4g63) and they normally tend to set the bar higher in 1/4 emphasis than subaru.
But Evo16gs are decent turbos. Im shooting for low 11s on mines.
Theres been a few dsms that hit 10s on a 16g also.
( Though the Evo8-9 16gs are a little bigger.)

Why dont one of you subie guys get a 16g and aim for 10s LOL
