i raced one last night, sort of, he started pacing me, and i didn't want to race him cause c'mon its a sti 300hp 300tq, but i was close to my exit so i figure oh well lets see how bad i loose, well i was goin around 90 dropped it to 4th tapped on the gas to make my car jump forward to let him know alright i'm game, did that like 3 times so i finally gunned it, i prolly got the jump, and i just kept goin to and i never saw him next to me, til i stopped accelerating then he flew by, then i got off cause i missed my exit, not sure his mods, or if he was sleeping, but if anything he did try to catch up, i got header and exhaust, but like i said who knows maybe he wasn't tryin or something, but he did fly by at over 100mph

Here is my question:
In comparisons with the S and Evo, some state that with the drivetrain loss and other factors, the S can either stay with or slightly pull on an Evo (both stock of course) in the triple digit area when racing on the highway. Although I have yet to test this myself, it seems that it is a close race regardless.
Now, the Evo and STI are often compared, most saying the two are similar in speed (STI being slightly faster). Now, I would think the STI would stomp an S (again, both stock), but if what I hear about the S vs Evo and Evo vs STI, wouldn't it be a bit closer or does the STI truly rock the S's world?
Love all 3 cars!!
NOTE: My purpose is not to start an argument over the mentioned cars or the "rumors" on the internet. I'm just stating what I feel is accurate or partially true. Thanks!

I had an encounter with a Sti on the highway. 75-130mph. I had a passenger and he was by himself. Started out with about 2 car length ahead of him. He reeled me in slowly. and then passed me @ 130mph, that's when I let off.
I only have the RSR exhaust.

In my firsthand expierience the STi will walk the S2000 even in the highway speeds. I don't think the STi has the lack of top-end that people say the Evo has, or as much. I remember when I drove the car home 3 hours from the dealer on the highway, I was wondering what people were talking about in regards to a lack of top end.
