if the sti didnt have all wheel drive, i think the cobra would spank it, all the sti has to do is just floor it to red line and dump the clutch and all it does is chirp the tires and it shoots out the hole, the cobra you might have to regulate the pedal and wut not, i would take the cobra over the sti anyday, just becuase of the potential they have and the sound of them things.
