I've noticed that the torque and horsepower peaks given for the US STi are at the exact same rpms as for the US WRX, namely peak torque at 4000 rpm and peak horsepower at 6000 rpm. This suggests to me that the US STi has a similar redline rpm as the US WRX, namely about 7000 rpm. This would not surprise me, given the longer stroke of the EJ25.

I suspect that the area under the torque curve, which is a good indication of which will "feel" stronger, will be much greater for the US STi than for the JDM STi.
