This same test was posted on a local racing forum and all the Mustang muscle guys threw a shitstorm over it. All this BS about how it wasn't a good comparison and whatnot. In the end it's two cars with similar hp and similar price, doesn't matter that one is AWD and one is a solid-rear-axle RWD blast from the past.

Ahahahahah! 2 of 46 for the Mustang. They were really letting it rip on both cars. So much tire smoking!

The Mustang never had a chance against the STI. I would buy an 08 STI if I had $39000. I really like the wagon look !

The muscle guys are just mad that the STI beat the mustang at its own game. 13.3 > 13.7 1/4 mile.
