wrxs from 06 and after have the same motor as the stis (2.5 h.o. 4) they had smaller turbos and a less efficient intercooler.
stis got the vf39 turbo ( i think) and better tmic. As well as a near bullet proof 6spd trans and better suspension. Which is godly compared to the wrxs 5 spd weak tranny
a wrx can be modded fairly easily to run the power of and sti. but the trans really makes the difference.
but legacy gt limited > wrx/sti. get the performce of a rex, the tranny of and sti, and tons of aftermarket support in a sleeperish pakage
