Regarding the Mustang... Did THEY (Motor Trend) test it at 13.4 (same day) or was that another test report to which you refer? If it's another (as I suspect), then thats ok as various conditions can change times.

Motor Trend must have some professional drivers getting those times. I've never seen any stock evo run that fast. For that matter, I've never seen any stock STi run that fast either. The fasted stock time I've ever witnessed for either car was a 13.6 from an 04 Evo.
I really like the new ST'I'. Suburu did a nice job on the update. I also like the IX, but the changes are less subtle than the Scoobie.
