100+ pounds lighter. This keeps getting better.

Earlier I noted some of the engine charactoristics that I like better about the 3.2 than the 2.0T. I've never driven an STi. I imagine the low end torque off boost is better from the 2.5L engine than it is from my 2.0. Is that your experience if you have happen to have driven both?
