There's no question that if you want a faster car then the STI beats the G hands down. The thing is, it really isn't THAT much faster... I wouldn't even consider all of the other downsides you'd get with the STI just to gain a few tenths in the quarter or a second around the track. As a daily driver the G wins all day imo.

2007 infiniti g35 (coupe) 0-60 ~5.5.
2008 subaru wrx sti 0-60 ~4.8
those are just approximates.
times vary considering time and skill.

OP's car is 03 or 04..STI he is considering is 08? or 09?
so its fairly easy..STI will be more to insure.
My 05 G coupe 6MT costs less to insure than my brothers 08 accord sedan or my mom's 08 Camry V6, and all 3 cars have same coverage/deductible..etc..
oh yeah, and your mom's "new" Camry should costs more than $50 a month, unless shes not decently covered with $500 or more deductible. It also varies alot by states..but trust me, I work for Allstate..

our coverage is high because in any case we dont wanna lose our house in case of an accident.

I said a few tenths. I didn't look up specs but when they line up it's not like the STI disappears into the horizon... I'm basing this on what I've seen at the track and when I go Autocrossing. You're right, driver skill does also play a pretty big part as well.

STI coverage was 1500/year for 100/300 coverage, uninsured, rental, the works. 500 deductible.
My G was 1650/year, s2k is 1400, Corolla was 950, MR-2 was 700, VR-4 was 1300, Miata was 650.
All rounded off to the best of my knowledge. Coverages are between the ages of 18 and 24.

If you are comparing to an 07+ G, that would be different. The sti will pull on you hard with a good driver off the line still, but the g will catch up. By that time you will be doing over 100, noone really drives that fast.
