I bought my STi new in 05 and while it was an AWD rocket it just really didn't have the cool factor on my current 96 SS and at 1/10th the price I spent on the STi, no contest whatsoever! lol. It was fast off the launch but tires just hooked up and go banging through the gears. I can't describe it, maybe I just like the sound of the LT1 and the ability to screech rubber and the way the Camaro seems to just "settle down" up higher speeds. I also didn't care for the way the interior even with tinted windows on the Subaru faded quickly. I also had issues with breaking welds on the shock mounts repeatedly, a problem I've never once had on the Camaro and I drive the same roads, the same way so I'd suspect design. It'd be no contest for bad weather though, ice, snow etc. Leaving the Camaro parked in the garage.
