its all good...i have nothing but love for the STi / WRX...and you never know when you're gonna get a factory freak with some crazy extra performance...i don't doubt your account...sorry for making it sound that way

Yep...still breakin it in....05G35C AT.
Personally, I could care less about this cuz I'm probably not going to push past 100mph nor am I going to go 0-60 in 6, 7, 8, 9...... However, it is interesting that some say the STI is a killer from start 0 ...I just want to know what makes the 50mph starting point so different.

being able to launch at nearly any rpm and get grip means that some testers have gotten the car to hit 60 in 4.8 -> 5.3 seconds whereas i think a 6MT G sits right around 5.8 seconds. Launching is even more critical in the G to get max power without wheelspin whereas for the most part an STi can rev up and drop the clutch and be moving ASAP.
starting at 50 negates the takeoff (obviously) and puts the STi at a slight disadvantage since it does have shorter gearing than the G35
