The WRX STI is not designed for straight line speed and the ower of that car is a fool to be putting his awd tranny through that much stress. People often over look the damages of launching such a complicated tranny from a stand still.

Anyways, if you want to see the most powerful of these two... try them from a 45mph roll.

bikes vs cars

What makes you think it was from a standing start? it was actually three rolling starts from 45, 60, and 80. I don't do standing starts. I didn't feel I was wasting my time either. The car was far from stock and I wanted to see what this new toy was capable of. The biggest gap was on the 80 roll though. When I rolled off the throttle at about 160 (indicated) there was an undetermined number of car lengths between us. (I can't estimate more than 10.)
