cls vs sti
I had a couple quick runs with a stock wrx sti, I was going down N. Oak trafficway if KC, MO and There was a guy looking over at me in sti, he gave me a nodd and we hit it, 40-90 he put about 1/2 a car on me, then we went again 45-100 and he put abut 1 car on me, after that we pulled over talked for a little bit, he was very surprised that we he looked over i was beside him!!! He said that usually he kills cl type S's. After all that he said he wanted to race me from a stop but i knew i would get killed with his all-wheel drive and my crappy front wheel drive.
Those cars are pretty sweet the this was the first time i ever saw one up close, the coolest thing about it that is has a variable dif where the driver can adjust power dist. ex 40% front wheels adn 60% rear!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what my car would do from 20-120,

Nice run. But its hard to see how your mid 14 second car can keep up close with a low-mid 13's car. Maybe with a stock WRX but not the STI man. They trap at 105mph. I don't see any CL-S 6speed trapping that or close. Good kill anyhow!

STIs
You have to spank the hell of the WRX STI to make it go. I mean throw a rod and rip the clutch. But if you know what you're doing there extremly quick. I was surprised how quick they are when I got a chance to drive one. They pull hard in through 3rd gear. Too bad the car fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I guess you have to have the flavor for the rally look...

You have to launch the STi around 6000rpm to get the best launch. Otherwise it just bogs off the line. This is common on almost all AWD cars.
I think the Evo does 0-60 in 4.6-4.8 seconds. But it does 5-60 in like 5.5-5.9 seconds. Its all about the standing launch. This is why the modded CL-S with headers and IceBox could "keep up"
