This is false.  First, this video is super lame.  Second, whoever thinks a GTI is faster than a WRX STI is an absolute idiot.  GTI is an amazing car but is lacking about 100 bhp.  The WRX compared with the STI above is the first edition of the new generation WRX (not and STI), which was total shit.  THe second edition of the new WRX gen would smoke the GTI.  The STI in this vid is a badass car(especially for a ski car), much doper than the newer generation hatchback 45k Subaru in my opinion.

a stock sti will beat a stock wrx no matter what.

a stock gti will beat a stock wrx no matter what

a gti with $5000 under the hood will beat a sti with $5000 under the hood.

i beg someone to disagree

I'll go ahead and disagree there.  A GTI with $5000 under the hood would be pointless, because once you got it to 300hp it would just torque steer everywhere and wouldn't get around a corner.  If you've ever driven a supped up MS3, its impossible, its just stupid.  Even a stock MS3 at 260hp is pretty ridiculous. You could swap an r32 engine into it for the AWD I guess but that would cost more than 5 gs I would imagine.  An STI with $5000 under the hood would be stupid fast.

In that price range I'd have an Evo anyway though, the new generation is noticeably better than the new STI.

I just turned 16, I can't even get a license until I'm 17, let alone a car, and I'm saving up nearly all my money for this:

The GTI Mk VI, the 6th generation. 
I was looking at an STi too, but with mpg ratings like 23/31, you just can't beat the GTI.  And besides, the GTI is faster.

A woman is driving.  I don't think that's a fair test.

I've heard from multiple people that the hatchbacks are faster and have better handling. Could be bullshit?
Either way i want 1st Gen cause they are my personal favorite.
My friend has a Legacy GT wagon that is sick and i also know someone with a Legacy GT sedan that has the STi engine in it. That car looks normal but slays.

I wish they would have just put the back from the MkVI on the front from the MkV and it would have been one of the most sexy hatchbacks ever.

A GTI is not faster than an STI though I don't know where you got that from.
