hi-revving JDM 2.0L STi with twin-scroll turbo is not the same STi we get here.

I sense like past C&D Subaru vs Mitsu comparisons the STi was stuck with the Bridgestone all season while the EVO had its Yokohama summer tires.
the STi NEVER came with all-season tires. previous STi's had Bridgestone RE070 tires, the 2008 has Dunlop SP Sport 600's.
