The '09 "base" WRX is about as fast as the STi. Right now the STi doesn't make a lot of sense unless you really need the 6spd and different differential setup. It is due for a refresh in '10 and it'll like get upgrades that differentiate it. Right now though you're paying over $10K more for not a lot more performance.
David, I'll bring it down and we'll run it against the TT on Palomar
