The only difference is the stitching on the steering wheel and seats.

That's bullcrap, dude.
I've driven a 2009 wrx and it's very obviously slower than an STI. 285whp even on a dynojet is not believable unless the correction factor was way stupid.

Dyno #'s are always kind of fishy though. They are so easy to adjust and have so much disparity between them that the numbers are really meaningless unless you can get stock baselines from a bunch of different cars on that dyno
