Judging from the trap speed and time, it is probably pulling 230-240, which is still more than the 260 that it is rated for. It is probably in between the 260-300 that hte STI is rated for at the engine.
Regardless, the WRX is not going to beat the Z at the track unless it is raining or snowing. It doesn't handle anywhere as good stock and it is down on power. It is not a bad car, just not at the same level. WRX=The Ultimate Plow Machine

lots of people do track them it seems like though. When I was selling my 06 Evo RS I had a guy call me who wanted to look at it that raced and had a WRX (older model like 02 or 03 I think) he never called back, I think he just wanted to see what the car had. Luckily I sold it online and didn't have a bunch of people wanting to test drive my car.
