Subaru has restyled its Impreza line in 2006 and in addition given the all-conquering 293-horsepower WRX STI model several performance enhancements.
The 2007 WRX STI is distinguished by the lower-profile hood scoop from the standard WRX to aid forward visibility.
The Impreza WRX STI is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter DOHC boxer engine producing 293 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 290 lb-ft of peak torque at 4,400 rpm.

 Subaru Impreza WRX STi | Roadtests | The Australian
Yet the pink bits marking this car as something even wilder than the faddish WRX Impreza does not – let us repeat – does not mean its appeal is limited to video-mad lads and their older brothers.
Rather, the people who tend to purchase the Impreza STi could well be their dads: high-income men in their late-40s and 50s who want something exotic, and exhilarating, to add to their private collection.
STi markings throughout the cockpit are over-used, ad hoc sports details (silver dash insert, chrome-coloured gearshift surround, red lighting, pink stickers, and so on) are a mishmash, the blue carpet looks cheap once wear marks set in and a more convenient alarm/immobiliser than the PIN-code unit still being used is now long overdue.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI (often referred by auto-enthusiasts as simply STi; in 2006, the acronym had the ‘I’ capitalized; hence it is currently STI) is the highest trim in the Subaru Impreza line (excluding the limited edition special cars).
Many people surmise the reason why the US-spec WRX STi does not handle as well as a Spec C is because the EJ257’s extra weight and the slower steering rack hampers the feel and balance of the car.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi receives new front-end styling, new taillamps, daytime running lights, a less obnoxiously sized hood scoop and a new roof-mounted vane-type spoiler.
Subaru has also altered the STi's AWD system by giving it a new steering sensor, changing out the hydraulically operated center differential for a mechanical unit, and altering the standard power distribution to the wheels from last year's 35-percent front/65-percent rear to a 41/59 split.
Not only does the Subaru Impreza WRX STi have serious power, it has all-wheel drive to get it to the ground.

 IGN: Subaru Announces Impreza WRX STi
You all know that the current WRX howls to the tune of 227 horsepower, that number (good for a rocket start of 0-to-60 in 5.5) is nothing, nothing compared to the 300 hp @ 6,000 rpm and the transmission killing 300 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm.
What the engineers at Subaru were thinking when they came up with this magical number is unknown, but this boost in power is enough to keep the WRX at an advantage over its closet rival, the Mitsubishi Evolution.
The still current WRX looks to be the love spawn of a Skyline GT-R and a Volkswagen Beetle after a night of jagers and kamikazes--bug eyes and all.

Brochures and Subaru communications reflect this change, however, the logo used for the STI badging remains the same as before (with an italicized lowercase 'i').

Rabid fans of the Subaru Impreza WRX that we are, there was plenty of salivating at the news that an Impreza WRX STi Type RA Spec C was in the Subaru press fleet.
This Japanese-spec, right-hand-drive version of the STi is basically a Group N rally car, without the requisite competition safety equipment.
Unlike the regular STi, the Type RA has a quicker-ratio steering rack (13:1 as opposed to 15:1), a three-gallon water-spray reservoir for the intercooler, a stiffer sport suspension with beefier anti-roll bars, a mechanical rear limited-slip differential, and a driver-adjustable electronic center diff.

While Subaru offers no stability control system yet, the Tribeca's steering angle sensor is fitted to the STI and used to better inform the center differential electronics when to lock and release.
