Carbon, both cars perform equally admirably and when it comes to outright pace it's simply down to the driver.

My advice, of course, would be to go for the STi. It's just better built, its controls more precise and better weighted and ultimately it's the more characterful car and satisfying ownership prospect. Six speed 'box vs five speed? In cars with such potent, rapid fire power delivery? No contest...
