[QUOTE="DriftwoodSVT, post: 7984116, member: 43348"] Where did you see those numbers? They might be close, but I doubt the STi is actually slower. WRX = 265hp/244tq @ 3174 lbs STi = 305hp/290tq @ 3395 lbs Pretty close overall. "The STi will run 0-60 in 4.8-4.9 seconds ,while the WRX takes about a second longer. In day to day driving, however, that extra power isn't really very useful. Extracting it requires revving the engine in a manner likely to attract unwanted attention from ticket writers. Below about 4,000 rpm, the STi engine feels decidedly weak than its overt exterior suggests. Once the needles on the boost gauge and tach start to get active, so does the engine and the STi leaps forward."
