Cobb Stage 2 Fiesta ST vs 2015 WRX in AutoX

Based on The Smoking Tire's IG post, they're doing an AutoX with their Cobb Stage 2 FiST and comparing it to a 2015 WRX they're reviewing. Interested to see the results!

People seem to be getting awfully upset about the FiST being modded and the WRX not. However, these kinds of comparisons are made all the time. So many WRX owners talk about how much faster their car is if they spend the price difference between an STi on mods. Still, the times haven't been posted, so if the WRX wins then the previous complainers will turn on their heads and say something along the lines,"even a nodded Fiesta ST can't beat the new WRX."

Still, the cost of the AP and IC added to the cost of the FiST still make it cheaper than the WRX.

Not to mention gas and insurance is likely cheaper for us. Which (at least in my case) equates to more money for go fast pats haha

In their podcast the general consensus was that the FiST is way more fun, and faster or not, it certainly feels faster than the WRX. However, they said they still gotta take the WRX into the canyons.
