The Subie would definitely jump out in front of the 911 S at least up until about 75 mph. My STI has around 375whp and loads of torque but everything falls off around 5200rpm and there's very little top end power. Love the feeling of the 911 S NA power! The 911 power curve is much more linear and I like it.

A good friend had one and I drove it many times. The Subie Sti is a fun car with nice turbo torque. Very easy to modify to 400+hp too, but if the STI is stock with 310 hp then the 911 3.8 355 hp and lighter weight will still take the win, but it would be close!
Hey Alex, Congrats and welcome to the club. I was a JDM car fan for many years before getting bitten by the Porsche bug. I never looked back after that. You have officially taken the red pill and will never look at cars the same again. Enjoy in good health!!

I recently did a similar swap. Finally unloaded my modified Evo 9 for a low mileage 2008 C2S. The Evo was certainly faster, but the Porsche driving experience is so much more enjoyable for me right now. Happy to be back in an NA rwd car, even if it is a little slower.

Nice! Yeah, at full boost my STI definitely pulls harder than the 911 but I've really been enjoying this new driving experience!

Hey dude! I sold my STI and I still miss it sometimes, especially now that there's a bunch of snow on the ground. I still don't regret the switch to a 911!!

Also very happy to hear that you still enjoy the 911. While I am hesitant to sell the subaru, a 997 C4S would be a keen replacement to the STI and a compliment to the TTS.

I understand and currently own both a 911 Turbo S and a 2017 STI. I previously owned a 2007 STI that I modified beyond usefulness and sold. Although, have been able to keep this one at stage 2 for 30K++ miles.
