Default S4 vs. WRX STi... Can you get the 300hp engine NOT in the STi?

co-worker just said he picked up a WRX, not STi, but that it has the same 300hp engine. is this true?

It's 2.5L, and I don't think they use the same block.

AFAIK the only WRX that has the 300 HP 2.5 Liter Engine is the STi Trim Line

Your co-worker is either lying, or was lied to.

Default thats kind of like saying you bought an S4 with the RS4 engine. . .

they are the same motor, but the RS4 is modified (obviously). In other words, that guy's WRX is not putting out 300 hp stock
