You brother's 05 GT would still be a challenge. It'd be a drivers race. That Subaru is impressive, it really puts the power to the pavement.

The V6 would win, hands down. Because it looks good, and the subaru is merely ok looking. So in a race, you'd win, even if you didn't get there first, because you have the better lookin' car!

I will preface this by saying I can't stand STIs. Having said that, he would mop up a V6...no contest. It is possible an STI could outrun a GT. I think they are neck and neck. Look up a roadtest. Motor Trend has a road test of an '05 in Oct. '04. It has 300 hp and does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds; quarter mile in 13.3 @ 100.1 mph.

my brothers 05 sti runs 13.2 bone stock so you dont stand a chance even if you got the GT and it was stock... unless anyone on here is running 13.2 on a stock GT, I know I'm not!

sti aint nothin to play with. subaru wrx sti: 300hp 300tq. holds its own against 03-04 cobras all day long. eats anything less (including 05 gts) for lunch. car's a beast without mods. with mods its a beast eater. some where, and I dont remember where, i read of a heavily modded but still streetable sti that was putting 600hp to the wheels. thats a lot of power from a 4cyl. this thing was taking on and beating moddified vettes, vipers, porches, anything in the field

Nah...STi's will get raped by any properly driven Cobra. Cobra's are trapping 112+, while STi's are around 100-102 stock. A GT will be about dead even with an STi, most of them at the track where I go run mid to high 13's. They're about 240whp and lose a lot of steam after they launch.

In a race, an STI will spank a V6 mustang stock vs. stock. Not much else to say

05 Mustang V6 have no chance against Sti. Not even 05 Mustang GT can beat it. 03-04 Mach 1 may beat it and 03-04 Cobra will beat it for sure.
