Would you really need a new tranny to just out-prefrom a STi? I know you would if you are trying to convert a WRS to a STi. I don't kow if the bigger brakes are necessary either.

I would say a WRX with around 310-340 hp, coilovers, 17"'s would get pretty damn close if not beat the STi.

I haven't had the pleasure of driving a STi yet, so I could be talking out of my ass, but it doesn't seem that much better of a car that 8k could match and/or beat the STi with a WRX.
