I own a 986 BoxsterS and have owned a Impreza GT Turbo tuned by prodrive to about 260bhp. I've done several "races" agains eachother and untill about 200km/h there have roughtly the same performance. GT turbo gets a bit faster from the line though with its torque engine and 4WD.
A well tuned WRX would roughtly be the same as well although it's a bit heavier than the GT Turbo model.
Currently the Impreza is gone and replaced by a Mitsubishi EVO 8 MR RS with 360bhp. A (very) well tuned Sti 06 can be compared to this EVO. And the EVO kills the BoxsterS with ease...
A well tuned Sti would eat the BoxsterS in a straight line I think (at least the 986 with 252bhp).
Race carefully...
Mark.
