How much do you think aerodynamics factor in at 75mph+? I'm guessing the G has a much lower coefficient of drag vs. the huge brick intercooler and brick windshield of the STi...thus making better use of the power at hand. But not sure how much of a difference that makes???

Maybe it's pretty important at that kind of speed. Hearing that you guys are talking about 100+mph races, it could be that the STi loses out at that point. I don't have any evidence one way or the other. I wonder what the Cd of the STi vs. the G is?
