IB4TL - The C 6 wins because it is faster. Higher top speed, faster Quarter mile. **This is based on published performance figures**
The C6 has better power to weight ratio
Funny paragraph from a sti review
You want speed? Okay, then know that some enthusiast publications have recorded 0-60mph times of 4.5 seconds or better for the WRX STi. You can get to 60mph in second gear. We were daring enough to go 115mph in this car in sixth gear but then backed off. No, no cops around. No other cars were around even. But that dang hood scoop acts like a giant lift on the front of the car and the hood itself began to vibrate terribly above 105mph. Pushing any further seemed like a recipe for takeoff, and without wings, we doubt the landing would've been pretty.
