Both the Subaru WRX STI and the Porsche Cayman enjoyed a refresh last year and despite their differences in segment, both vehicles have found themselves competing against each other in a standing quarter mile drag race.
It is unsure on what could be the motive of having the WRX STi going against the Porsche Cayman. Then again, it will be interesting to see on how big the difference is between a $38,190 car and a $70,160 luxury roadster.
On papers, the WRX STI is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged F4 engine that is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This allows it to generate 305hp and 290lb-fts of torque. As for the the Cayman, it runs on the 2.7L F6 engine that is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This generates 275hp and 213lb-ft of torque.
However, the race is not based on papers and it actually shares a different result. We highly recommend you to watch the race for yourself above. Trust us, the minute and a half long clip has tons of excitement to offer.
