You know throw a 1LE package on this platform and you have the ultimate affordable daily, track car.
This year Subaru is bringing over the S206 model which final gives them 345hp and yet I still believe the LT1LE Maro will send it to school!

Two different kinds of performance cars focused on two very different parts of the performance spectrum, but 305hp is still pretty good out of a turbo-4. After all, the
turbo-4 Camaro LT is 30hp behind that figure.
Of course AWD counts for a lot in those first couple seconds of acceleration. I believe the latest STi's acceleration is about on par with a non-1LE Gen 5 SS, which puts it well ahead of even the automatic Gen 6 LT V6.
I doubt very many STi owners would sweat trying to lose a Camaro on the street or the track if it didn't have an SS or ZL1 badge.
