The "293 HP" is because of the new method of rating horsepower or rather a "readjustment". Nothing's changed as far as how the engine is tuned out of factory.

The big wing, flashy brembos, bright blue interior is what drove alot of potential customers away. A lot of people want STi performance with out the STi attention (hence so many doing trunk swaps, debaging, swapping for black interior)
Its a brilliant idea from SOA, the only stupid part is only making 800. I imagine they will sell quick

That is my point they should have released the Sti exactly like that from the get go. Instead of 800 limited models that should be the new standard or atleast offer it as an option with two different trims.
