This is not a very constructive comparison. Comparing lap times of a much more expensive competition version of an STI (which nobody reading this will buy) to a stock CTR is not helpful. AWD isn't the primary factor when figuring out how practical a car is, of course AWD is an advantage when driving in heavy snow but even then we all know tires are a bigger factor. I also believe telling people that the CTR cost $3000 less isn't painting the whole picture. It's hard to find a CTR for MSRP, where an STI can easily be found with a discount.
