Default MY06 STI makes finals of PCOTY

Lastest Motor mag.
Equal 1st place with Nissan 350z (WTF) in East West Division.
What chance has it got up against Porsche in finals?
Evo 9 3rd place.
STI quicker than Evo 9 apparently(hmmmm!)

They attribute most of that to the STi's tyres though. Those Bridgestones have proved to be the decider in a lot of tests involving the two cars.

This is true on the track - would it make that much diff in a straight line?

Nah, straight line should be pretty much down to the tester I would say. Pretty hard to launch both cars equally. And I found that with straight line battles, it all happens in the first 60ft.
