The STI offers great grip thanks to its performance-tuned version of Subaru’s symmetrical AWD system. Aside that, it has a driver-controllable center differential along with a Torsen limited-slip unit at the back which gives a nominal front-to-rear torque of 41-to-59.
Meanwhile, the Camaro is fitted with a 6.2-liter small block V8, producing a whooping 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft torque. Buyers can opt between the six-speed manual transmission or an eight-ratio automatic.
