Honestly, a 986 is going to have a hard time keeping up with any STi in any situation. In the turns, the 986 will feel faster and likely be more tossable, but the STi will likely get through quicker since it can put all its power down.

Highway rolls are the absolute worst situation for Subaru's (aero, AWD, gearing). With some minor work, any turbo Subaru will gain 20-40whp and the EJ257 motor (STi, Forester XT, Baja turbo, Legacy Spec B) is good to 400awhp.

Like Porsche owners, many Subaru owners go for suspension and weight saving modifications before power mods.

I enjoyed my Subaru's, they were very fun cars. Totally different feel than the Porsche.
