I watched it on tv the other day. There was another thread a week or two ago about it. I know that 1/4 mile times for both was the same (13.4 I think) after they put ice on the intake/intercooler and the cobra had a much higher trap speed. Of the 2 guys on the show one prefered the Cobra the other prefered the STI. They also said that the STI was easier to driver but not as fun.
