is 80mph really the breaking point in determining the STis top speed? if so, please list your sources of information. i really wish i was stock right now to see if this is in fact true.
STis trap 103mph in the quarter, what does the S do?

S traps anywhere from 98-100 mph, 101++mph are very rare though.

my STi had no problem getting to 160mph, granted mine wasn't stock 
Anyways, from a high mph roll a STOCK STi vs. a STOCK S2000, the S will slightly pull. I have owned both cars, so i am completely unbiased. maybe someone can get a race on video to shut some of these people up

Still continuing with this?
Make sure you do your run with the top down. The S2000 isn't pulling on anything above 80 mph. It would have a hard time with an Accord Hybrid, let alone an STi. Even with a supercharger and 290hp at the wheels, my S2000 could barely crack 140 in a reasonable distance. Just not enough power to overcome the drag.
This should be a MythBusters episode.

Wish I could get some new footedge running my friend but he will be out of the country for another week. I do have some footedge of two highway runs we did a while back, but it's not the best quality, and the runs began behind the camera car. I will try to find them.

sorry, but the reality is the S2000 will pull an STi on the top end.
and an accord hybrid? give me a break.
