Robispec is also running e85 with a 2500lb car and a different rear drive. I think a stage 1, pump gas frs with everything else stock, even assuming it makes 220hp, is going to have a hard time matching the nearly 300ft-lbs of torque from a stock sti. The 40-70mph times for the sti are harder to beat, at that speed our weight advantage is less..advantageous. Also, gear ratios play a role, and I'm not sure if the sti is geared better for such shenanigans.

It's definitely a drivers race though.
