Went out last night, taking advantage of turbo happy weather (35 f) and saw a black sti running around. I pulled out and chased and did a flyby and we then slowed down. 2nd gear, 35ish roll we hit and his awd allowed him to stay with the tq of my map. However I starting slipping traction and he got about a car. We hit third and it was over. I reeled then walked him. These cars have a fantastic third gear.
Later that night saw a 5.0 on the highway. Same mph roll I hit, hooked and slingshotted a good 2 car lengths ahead. We hit third and I was still pulling up until fourth when his displacement took over. He was reeling me in at about 120 . I let off as we were flying but his fourth was definitely about to reel me in.
I've seen the same thing happen with other gtis vs. the 5.0 stangs. Their top end usually pulls these cars unless you're is38 and it's the other way around. However 2nd-3rd the is20 eats alive mustards on about 22-23psi.
