Ah, you're right. Found this:
"Sixty mph comes in 4.8 sec, and the five-door, five-passenger hatchback we tested covered a quarter mile in 13.5 sec at 101.1 mph. That's near a second faster than last year's model and just a tenth slower than the 2008 STI. Consider the $10,000 difference between the base WRX and the homologated rally car, and you'll be asking yourself, "STI why?""

I have no idea if they improved the STi from 08 to 09, but I hadn't heard anything. So it sounds like a "drivers race" which is pretty amazing giving the pricing.
