FACT WRX STI is rated 0-60 at 4.9, LT1 camaro is rated 6.3. Camaro is destroyed off the line. (There's another relative term.)

Although I was specific with the Camaro (1994 LT1 Camaro Z28), it seems I generalized with the STi
Well, from what find, I see that:
1994 Subaru STi:
247 bhp @ 6500 RPM
(Anywone have 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?)
1994 Camaro Z28:
275 @ 5,000 RPM
325 ft-lb @ 2000
0-60: 5.7 seconds
1/4 Mile: 14.2 seconds
Price As Tested: $19,164
2006 Subaru WRX STi: (Scroll down for WRX STi specs)
300 HP @ 6,000
300 ft-lb @ 4,000
0-60: 5.4
1/4 mile: 13.6 @ 100
Price as Tested: $32,995
blaSSt: Could you please explain where you got 4.9 seconds for the WRX STi, and where you got 6.3 seconds for the Camaro, and what models are you talking about exactly?
I got the camaro times from wikipedia and theautochannel.com , and the WRX STi from edmunds.com. What moddels are you talking about? Maby wikipedia, edmunds, and theautochannel are completely wrong?
From what times I've looked up, doesn't seem like the LT1 Camaro is "destroyed off the line" when comparing the models stated above, unless the 1994 STi does better with only 247 BHP? Quarter mile: 13.6 for subaru and 14.2 for Camaro. Price wise: difference of $13,831 I bet you can do alot of mods with that kind of money.
Also, what would constitute "destroyed off the line"? Aparently from what I find, 0.6 of a second in difference? 2006 Subaru WRX STi 13.6, and 1994 Camaro Z28 14.2
