Getting to 300HP is easy. Getting it reliably, or getting the rest of the STi goodies, is extremely expensive. There's a lot more to the STi than just a WRX with the extra half liter in the engine.
Getting the 6 speed tranny with Driver Controlled Center Diff and Suretrac front diff is about a $10,000 swap. But if you get the parts necessary for 300HP out of the EJ207 engine in the WRX (or 9-2x Aero), you'll shatter the 5-speed transmission pretty quickly. The power is relatively cheap (probably 3-4k for a computer, turbo, injectors, and exhaust), though.
The STi also has a much improved suspension (for performance, anyway - it is harsher) over the WRX.
As much as I wanted to wait for a 9-2X (particularly for the employee discount), I couldn't resist the STi. It's really an awesome machine.
