Thats a sweet vid. My two favorite cars (but i'm biased as I have both of them). But I must add that sure the fd's handle as good as the sti because they have a modded suspension vs a stock one on the sti. If you were to mod the sti to the same level of performance as your fd then I would have to say that the sti would be untouchable on the turns. But thats just my opinion. (Flame suit on!!)

I can see your point as far as stock vs. modded suspension goes, however, the ONLY thing done to the light silver and MB FD's sus. was springs(with crappy stock shocks). one is a touring and the other is an R1. (not sure about the dark FD). And as far as the sti being untouchable...i would never underestimate a propperly set of FR car, especially an FD . but then again my opinion may be a little biased also

I was refering to apnea saying that he pulled away from the sti because his fd has 380hp.

Thumbs up Sweet Video!

Sweet Video!
I am also a huge fan of the STI. Great perfomance and you can still take the family out in the snow.
I like when you picked up the pace in the end.
This Video is just what I needed to hold me over while KDR finishes my car.
