People need to stop
People need to stop suggesting the new STI will have close to 400hp. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest this.
The new WRX with a 20% larger motor has 3 more hp and no more torque. It has less torque than any current application of the FA24DIT. How in the hell can you then suggest Subaru would then make the new STI with 90 more hp than currently offered?
It makes no sense and it doesn't add up. If they even by some slim chance, that I wouldn't bet a lightly used q-tip on, made this change...the cost would be waaaaay higher. And at $40k+ they would get destroyed by several more affordable, more luxury (as in not the same cheap interior the wrx and sti have had for well over a decade) and more capable vehicles. They've already screwed themselves tbh with the WRX numbers, keeping a cvt that is worse than a light truck transmission, and no more power, and talks of "we made this super thick torque curve", noone asked for.
It is going to be real interesting how they play this out and the damage control they have already started on. But one thing it won't be, is 400 hp..or anywhere near it. -2015 WRX preorder owner
