I have driven both and prefer the truck, plus I can pull a trailer and put a sportbike in the back (only thing I would buy japanese over american). I have also raced a few sti, and the truck is faster in a straight line.

The only thing the sti will do better is gas mileage

You've been smoking again haven't you

I have an STi & have driven a Lightning also & there is no chance - not even a glimmer of hope that your truck will corner better than an STi. You MAY get to 60 faster if I stuff the launch but once we're at a corner it's bye bye truckie

The STi has a lower COG, better brakes, better gearing in a manual box, awd, better tyres...your dreaming
