STI vs. Carrera 4S vs. Audi RS4

SAMMYBOY · 01-16-2007, 03:12 PM

It is very flattering for our cars to be tested and compared against the likes of the Porsche Carrera 4S and the Audi RS4. Nice videos, but I wish I spoke German. Perhaps one of our international friends can give us an English summary.

Nice vids, but what is the point of comparing an STi to cars that cost 2 or 3 times more? Not fair I think. Then people go bashing the STi because it got beaten by a Porsche 911 or RS4. Dumb comparison IMHO.

All of them are great cars in their own respect.

In the second vid, it looks as if he has some trouble cornering the sti around a few turns

I don't speak German, but I think it sez:

"Boxer motor + turbo: FTW"

and

"Subaru Limosine STi: FTW"

I wish I spoke German. Unfair comparison, but it just shows how great our cars are...that they can be compared with such high-end expensive cars. Nice find.

STi_4_Daddy · 01-16-2007, 10:00 PM

Interesting how they compare Boxer engines from a completely different Country/Auto maker which are in completely different Categories

RisingSunSTi · 01-18-2007, 08:46 AM
