Just got the latest issue of Subiesport. . . the '08 STI article was a great read. They detailed some of the bigger changes (stronger/reinforced body shell, improved suspension, VDC/DCCD controls, wider wheelbase, etc.), and took it to Laguna Seca, where they pulled a 1:57.6. They even graphed out lap data - with speed, lateral g's, and acceleration g's - against time and turn number, with notes regarding such things as brake input, gear changes, and acceleration input at key points.
Overall they say that the new STI is a much more significant improvement over the WRX model than in previous years.
I've never cared much for the Team Orange dorifto-rama articles. . . but features like this make me glad I have the subscription.
