I promise this is the last post about the gravity thing. Both of you guys are still MISSING the entire point. So, do help improve your reading skills I will now post the original statement, and the purpose of the post.
"the only way GSR will win over RS would be dropping off a cliff where weight would give advantage."

Google does have search capabilities.
Since the objects are identical in every way, other then weight, they will hit the ground at the same time. Your feather argument is pointless and off the point. No one is arguing the difference in the resistance of an object as it flies through air. And yes, we all know this from 9th grade, so really, stop inserting arguments that have nothing to do with the original statement. Carry on.

BUT, I must say that the GRS has the wing on the trunk, so there will be more downforce acting on the car, so it will fall faster than the RS......
Just kidding.

haha, C&D thought they didnt have the BBS wheels option on the STI when in fact they did, just that the BBS wheels are gold colored on blue or white STI's and silver on the others. shouldnt that add another $2000 to their as-tested STI price?

I just got mine today. I did need to laugh because. while I love my slow subi and will be trading its soon for the 10 or the 9 or the r32. I will not be trading it on csaba's "The ugliest car on the planet". Sorry to the guy who has 08 sti. Really I am. Subi's have nearly always been the mary annes instead of the gingers. But this new car is prolly one of the ugliest cars I have every seen. I cant even 'get used to it". I would fire the designer, oh heck I would execute him! remember when vader goes 'nooooooooooo' at teh end of star wars ep 3 ? yeah thats what i did.
the fact that it came in 3rd was suprising but they could have spun that article 3 diferent ways. the r32 could have won it (if wasnt so slow). I drove a new 08 r32 2 weeks ago at the dealer. If you dont compete or can control the addiction to speed there is no reason not to buy that car. Its that nice and the sticker was 33,500.
I have seen 2 reviews now where the gsr has run 13.5 give or take and 2 others where it ran 13.9 and 14.0. The newer articles have the car going faster so there is some credence to the 'program wasnt done'. But lets be truthful going fast in a straightline is hardly something to challenge an engineer with. And honestly i still think you can do it cheaper with a mustang (because they are very high tech you know!)
