1.7 seconds is actually a pretty far spread in Willow Springs.
I can't figure out for the life of me why would you say the more purpose built STi? The SVT is what?

hahahaha.. Scott.. the STi is NO WHERE near its factory limits..
theolder STi's ran at 17.5 PSI .. this one runs at 14 PSI .. hell of alot more power to be had in this car.
I've yet to see a Cobra pick up 100 more RWHP from an $80 pulley.
i've seen them pick up about 30-50 from a 3.1 pulley costing about $280 with pulley puller
the Cobra is still more moddable than the STi though.. but what can be done with that forged 2.5L remains to be seen..if its anything like the older 2.0L STi blocks.. expect some large numbers once tuners get their hands on it..

This article makes me want to do a STi conversion on my car so bad it hurts. 
I'd be happy with the short block and trans. The rest is just icing. 
And 1.7s a lap equates to nearly 10 seconds after five laps. That's an ass raping in a race. Any idiot can go fast in a straight line. :o

"hello four star motors, yea how much is your spec c car-less shells again......."
good article I like how they tested it at a road coarse where a RWD would have a nice shot not just a small tight course but one with enough flowing turns and elevation changes that it would make for a good race, I think the big thing isn't the times but how comparable the cars were, and both have allot of potential from the after market, Im waiting to see what those crazy japanese do with "OUR" 2.5l block

So what is your excuse ?
And these people talking about doing a 2.5 swap, how much does that cost again ?
Now spend that same amount of money on the Cobra and go 10's or have it handle like a trans am car.

This argument gets so old, it's not even really fun anymore.
-ude rules...or something.

How does this discussion (not argument) get old ?
Try to have a discussion that envloves a import and domestic and the import guys seem to get bent or take it the wrong way every time.
P.S.
Mullets do rule, you will figure it out some day.
