Your car is for rally(4wd) 0-60 and is a lot lighter

Actually the STi isn't light. It is over 3,000 lbs (massive 6 speed, and AWD). Subaru keeps adding rigidity to the cars every year too, so that adds on the lbs.

you may beat them from a light to 60 or 70 but i have seen STi's get owned by LS1's... and a few LT1's... myself included

No doubt, there is always someone faster than you out there, always. With the right combo on the STi they are great on the highway. When they have the stock turbo and TMIC they loose all top end. This isn't my first LS1 on the highway.
I had the car down in Philly for the AKA Rally and we were tuning my car on the highway (5th gear pulls) and a Firehawk came up next to us. He wanted to run 'em (this was about 4am) so we decided to go for it, figuring that I would get whomped. I ended up taking him by a few car lenghts and I was very surprised. This was the first day with my 341awhp combo. The guys were surprised and pretty cool. Waived by, etc. On the 2k4 Rally I ran a LT1 T/A that kept cutting me off when I would go to pass him (I have video). This was on the stock turbo w/ exhaust. On the 2k5 Rally I was right next to a C6 on the highway up to 120ish before backing off. Dale, the owner wasn't too happy with me for that. Then I killed him in the 1/8 mile and he hated the awd more. :h I have also beaten a few LS1's at US131 dragway. I have also lost to a few Z06s, a Hennessey Viper, and a 770rwhp 300zx to name a few.

A fun picture from the 2k4 Rally. Awais's n20'ed C5. He popped the motor in the 190mph range spraying.
