hmm... ok as u can see(or maybe not) from the pics, it was a
very wet and cold and foggy day. the new STi had plenty of grip
despite the conditions, and was able to accelerate hard, although I
did get wheelspin shifting up from 3rd into 4th while blasting out
of the last corner onto the main straight. Nothing the car's
systems couldn't control though. I saw something light up on the
instrument panel almost instantly and the wheelspin was gone. In
4th, charging into the 1st corner which is a 90 degree right
hander, all i needed was to stand on the brakes hard and it
scrubbed off speed nicely, turn in, get on the throttle, and then
nail it. Excellent car. It did shimmy a bit when it hit standing
water, but nothing the car's AWD couldn't handle. I'd say, in fact,
in these conditions, the STi was the faster car than the
Ferrari.
