Zero to 100 mph:14.413.7sec
Zero to 130 mph: 29.129.2sec
Street start, 5–60: 6.66.7sec
Standing ¼-mile: [email protected]@100sec@mph

Braking, 70–0 mph: 167162ft<<<<<

Note the braking distance. For one stop the cars are essentially the same. The only real differences are tire grip and vehicle weight. The STI weighs at least a couple hundred pounds more from the factory, so it usually has longer stopping distances.  

Now that I added the 6 speed I am probably close to STI weight, but still it's not going to make me stop any faster (one time) by putting Brembo's on my car. The wider/stickier tires that I run in the summer will help the most.

And here's some more pictures of the wheels:

Alright, I'm done (well at least until I actually get them on the car) 

So, I installed my tranny last Monday and Tuesday and the low temp for both of those days was -11F. The two coldest days of the year by far. The week prior to that it had gotten up into the 30's, and then the week after it got up into the 30's again. But now I got my DCCD controller, and it's cold again! Tomorrow is supposed to be a low of -13F! Good thing I have a garage heater! It should be able to get it up to at least 40-50F I bet. Not warm, but hopefully not too terrible.

Here are some photos of the DCCD Pro:
