No they aren't. They're both 2.5L, but they aren't the same. At the very least, different pistons, b/c the CRs aren't the same. Thus why there's 2 engine models: the EJ255 for the WRX and the EJ257 for the STI. Also, the turbos are different.

I think both the 2015 models are nice. I'm with everyone that was hoping for a 350hp FA25DIT or something like that but what we were given makes sense in the grand scheme of things. |

why is a car made in 2013 being compared to a car made for 2015? when the 2013 version beats the frs anyways? that seems so retarded that my head hurts now.

The performance is disappointing. I don't care much about the slower 0-60 times, but what happened to the claims by Subaru engineers that the new WRX would pull 1.10 g in corners? That's not even close. Seems like there's been a trend lately of manufacturers overpromising and under-delivering.

From this article: Quote:
http://www.caranddriver.com/news/201...hotos-and-info They probably meant peak lateral g, but if so, that's pretty misleading as most places only test sustained lateral g.

Yeah pretty much. I'd say a huge majority of sti drivers never track their cars. What do you think? Nevermind wrx owners. And there is nothing wrong with that. For all these people, the new wrx is great.
