Exactly...god some people draw long bows.
Its exactly the same as when they compare a HSV or FPV to AMG or a M series. There is no real comparison but they just happen to give similar experiences in certain areas. Interesting to read, sure, but dont sit around fooling yourself that a ST really gives the same feedback and reward as a 86.
No doubt for the normal daily grind the ST is better...but I know which one I would take when I want to have a bit of fun, and its not the bum dragger.
Note: I love the ST/RS series as much as anyone else, but lets not compare a FWD to a RWD when it comes to dynamics...some key points of a driving experience are missed as they you cannot put a number or rating on them.
