^^ I bet the STi is faster 0-60, also, if the course had turns in it the STi would win hands down.
Swap turbos with a 09 WRX and you are just as fast, the difference is minimal anyway.

i just went through that same decision the last two months. i was leaning towards the WRX since it would just be a daily driver and i don't need the extras. long story short i got the STI. the price was just too good not to pass up. picked it up last saturday and loving every minute of it. i think i would of defiantly regretted and hate myself for not getting the STI.
