There is more to an STI than the HP, I figured this forum would know that but it is usually all people talk about when comparing the wrx v sti.

The EJ is far more proven and understood than the new mills, sure you can mod your wrx to sti power... but it will still have an sti suspension, and sure you can mod that too... but it will have sti brakes, sure mod those.... After all that the prices are getting closer. But you wont have SI drive modes, DCCD tech, BBSs, or the interior of an STI.
