    I guessing the RS modded would handle better...Also from what I hear STock vs. stock the RS still wins it in handling....But again I'm not sure, I just hear/read things.

    RS has pinky size rear sway bar.....sucks...ahahha
    But then....ya, the RS wins in stock.....the WRX's springs are only a tiny bit stiffer.....hahahah or was it softer in the rear and stiffer in the front.

    You are looking at a 400lb weight difference. It is kinda like apples to oranges. there are alot of differences, it is hard to make just a blanket statement on handling and ride.
