Unless Subaru drastically changes the suspension setup, i don't think the STI is going to be anywhere near that time.
Again, totally different cars but at a surprising similar price points (S209).
You forget 90% of the people that buy these cars could not drive them close to the full potential on track anyway so the car is not the limiting factor.
