2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

edmunds Inside Line has a  comparison test on the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and Subaru Impreza WRX STI.
The STI’s 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-4 is rated at 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The Shelby’s 4.6-liter V8 is stronger than that, but not by much. It generates 319 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, slightly more than a standard Mustang thanks to a more efficient exhaust system, cold air intake and a revised engine calibration (which mandates premium fuel).

“Brute strength and awkwardness” is a phrase that we heard a lot while growing up at Dad’s race shop. He used it to describe a powerful yet ill-handling machine; or, more often, the driving technique of a hero driver attempting to cope with one. Both definitions rattled around in our brain as we traveled to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) to drive the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10.
