I've heard everything from it's a redisigned bottom end with the regular WRX top... to completely redesigned motor just for the STi. Subaru sure ain't talking, yet.

truck off the line
actually even if a truck made 500 ft-lbs of torque but was only producing 150 hp (figures are not correct just examples) ... at 2000 rpm... lined up with a GSR dumping at 5000 rpm making 160 hp... the GSR with less torque but making more horsepower,(traction permitting) would take the 500 ft-lb truck torque monster off the line... torque is not important.... what is important is to look at the power.. which is delivery of torque over time... what i'm saying is that even if an engine makes more torque.. it doesn't mean it's going to be faster...if your analogy was correct than an F1 engine that makes 80 ft-lbs would be slow off the line correct? don't mean to flame.. just pointing out specifics....

more specifically
power is the delivery or work over time... with work being a function of torque

man after reading thru these 4 pages, i come to realize you guys really can debate. i'm one of those honda guys too that is tired of being bashed, but i'm hanging it up and getting my STi sometime this year. i hold my own with my DC2 'Teg tho: 1Xturbo PS13 180sx, 2Xmodded Miata (Eunos), 2Xturbo R32 Skyline GTS-t, 1Xturbo FC RX-7, 1XDC5 'Teg Type R... but i have also had my fair share of spankings, believe me. i'm ready to move on and "mature" to something force-fed and uses all legs. STi here i come!
