I agree.

Stock to stock, I would have the F30 at 100mph traps and an STI at 102-104. So them being close I would say the 8spd auto makes up for a lot of advantage.

The fact that this was a tuned STI, yeah-should have walked it a bit harder.

But lets watch the F30 advance. Stage 1 shows a 104mph trap, so watch for stage 2+downpipe, exhaust, intercooler, etc. I think will make for a good match with a tuned STi.
