that car is a damn monster, but it took way more to get it there. the bad *** thing about having a 9 second scoob is saying that while evo's are doing it all over the place, only like 2-3 other scoobs are as fast as your scoob. being unique is definitely fun but if you're ultimate goal is to hit xxx time with either platform with xxx amount of dollars, then the sti is just the wrong one =\
I was referring to the AMS evo which we all know has plenty of money in it. I'm talking about Dynoflash which couldn't stop mentioning his one man army status after losing the heads up against BV. Thats the excuse I'm talking about.

Money doesn't matter. Who has spent more has nothing to do with who should be faster. DSM guys use that argument against EVOs, muscle cars guys use that argument against EVOs. I laugh when I hear EVO guys use the argument against more expensive cars or builds.

You can build (or buy) a 9 second domestic car for under $10K.

Money is irrelevant in who could/should be faster.

Agreed 100%, especially when talking about these 9 sec players.

At the same time they have a drag car running 7.9@175. Like I said two different classes Comparing BV to AMS and Buschur.

I'm AMS didn't put much money into the car at all.

Much props for a very impressive car AMS has and the ones they builted. I'm no way taking a way from that.

I'm not sure this is the case any longer. I think the investments needed to make a 9 second EVO or STi are much closer than you think (given equal weight of the cars, equal driver skill......). The flat four on the STi leads to some additional cost, but I bet in the end, the cost difference is less than 10%.

However, the Subaru is still palying catch up with just basic bolt-ons. A flash, exhaust and a MBC will get you 11s on pump with a decent driver in an 06 EVO. You can't do that in a Subby without loosing a bunch of wieght.
