slp does make some nice upgrades for the 6.0 GTO's though just like with you wrx a GTO, Camaro or a mustang are very easy to get big numbers with a few bolt-on mods

The WRX also has a substantially higher final drive ratio for better down-low grunt. Once you approach 100MPH or so an LS-powered car will start walking away.

Does not compute. The 2009 WRX is runs just over 13psi stock. No stock U.S.-market WRX has ever run 17psi of boost; the highest boost level they've run is about 14.5psi for the STi and the original 2.0L WRX.

I have run the 2009 and 2008 STI and 2009 WRX on track at speed, stock and they run out of puff at 115-120 mph. It feels like you are driving through molasses to get it to go any faster.

I have a boost gauge, Mine definitely hits 17 PSI. If you look on nasioc.com its not uncommon due to the tune/altitude.
