The Subie is more predictable under typical conditions. Comparing the WRX to the 911 is interesting. At the end of my development with the 911 handling was better than the stock WRX. But that was fully tweaked suspension as well as R-compound tires. As for power delivery the WRX smacked the 911 upside the head. The turbo is potent and pretty predictable. Brakes were the only other issue - the stock pads on the WRX aren't really track rated.
When you push the WRX to the limit it hunkers down pretty well. The traction control works but is intrusive at the track (didn't try it without the TC on). It is a sticky car that doesn't understeer as bad as the Evo (in part due to the extra weight of the wagon imho). Easy to see why people crash them as they are well behaved and fast up until they aren't.
I've never driven a Mustang or Corvette at the limit but most American cars (rentals) aren't even in the same ballpark.
