No offense, but I really don't see how a plain WRX stacks up to a 996 911. It's night and day - lots more HP, better handling and active stability management (PSM), the interior, the brakes, the suspenion itself... you just can't draw a performance parallel.
Don't get me wrong, but if you want to compare apples to apples, put the 2.5L-powered STi against the Carerra 4. Even then, the Porsche is still "a Porsche" and will appreciate after a few years' slide in value. The STi is an unknown so far in the market. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
