I've heard late model STi's are well into 5th gear on just a 1/4 mile run.

Due to their gearing, the new base WRX is as fast, and has been actually tested to be faster, through the 1/4 and 0-60 than the new STi.
And I agree, a stock WRX or STi will only end up eating a lot of tire smoke from a ZL1. I've never heard of a stock STi doing 0-60 in under 4 seconds.
