Re: If you had a 400HP engine........

build automatic for dragracing/daily driving, 07-09 Spec-B 6spd for mixed normal driving/light track days, STi 6spd with DCCD for more hard core stuff.

The STi 6spd preference will also depend on car setup and desired use.

04 has very agressive front LSD, 34/66 split (dyno says its really more like 20/80 before center diff lock up)
05 has a more sane front diff, same 34/66 split, but oem DCCD auto mode is better.
06 gets a 41/59 split.
07 gets new better ratio pattern and torsen rear LSD.

If you like the Spec B's tall ratios, the JDM forester XT uses them also, but has a front limited slip unlike our SpecB. Dunno about their legacy. Oh and the 2010+ legacy 6pd is based on the old 5spd, but past that I know little.
