| 2011 Subaru STI Review
Not sure if this was posted before, but ran a search and didn't find anything and it's news to me! Dang, I was really considering trading in my car for the 2011's too! No way after these reviews.
They found it to be slower than the older models. http://www.insideline.com/subaru/imp...and-video.html
Subaru got upset and made them do it again, but the results were identical. http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...sti-sedan.html

Not every car ends up performing exactly the same, maybe they just got a lame duck off the production line. That said the weight diff between the STI and the WRX is huge... 300lbs...

keep in mind that they use 91 octane instead of 93 on those test runs.
There are lots of speculations that Subaru went with a more conservative tune to counter the infamous piston ringland issues, which plague the 08-10s. Other than the suspension, the car is pretty much untouched since 2010. The only possible explanation is the tune.
If 0-60 & 1/4mile is really your thing, maybe wait till spring/summer when some 2011 owners take their car to track and see if they put better numbers.
I love mine 2011 STI sedan and could careless that the car runs a tenth or so slower...as long as it puts a smile on your face, who cares?

I also love my 2011, can't really compare 0-60 numbers to justify buying a car.

ummm every generation the EVO always out performs the STi
since 20 years ago it has always been that way
