300 hp! Turbo that thing! STI inside.
Let me preface my message with this: I'm an RX-8 owner, and I'm most likely keeping it. :D
My coworker picked up a WRX STI last night. HOLY **** THAT THING IS A ROCKET! The 300hp was a huge difference over my rx8. At around 4000 rpm the turbo was spinning and it leaped forward. I only hope we can turbo the 8 to 300 hp one day.
As for the rest of the STI? Blah. I don't like the boxy style, the blue spandex cloth interior the huge spoiler or the hood scoop. The shifter throw was longer than I liked (longer than the 8). Overall I think he's going to have a blast at the auto-cross and rally events but for me, the the styling and overall package goes to the 8. Damn I want to turbo my car now!
Oh and he let his girlfriend drive his S2000 because he just couldn't give it up.

It's a damn fast car, though if I wanted a rally-type car I'd likely go with the Evo. Not as fast (but still fast) but apparently a lot easier to drive and more fun.

I love the STi, and the EVO is awesome too. Just my cup of tea
