For of all, two things:
1) The GC 2.5RS is actually the GC WRX/STi overseas, except brought to the US without the turbo engine. The 2.5RS was brought to the US without the turbo engine due to emissions regulations. With the correct turbo engine in your 2.5RS/WRX it would have been a much different story. The 2.5RS in stock form runs ~16sec 1/4 miles. The GD WRX STi's in stock form are running 12's. And slightly tuned STi's are running high 11's. Currently, at Delta V Motorsports a few miles from where I live, they have a whole collection of GC/GD WRX's putting out 500BHP & 600BHP running 10's and lower in the 1/4. With suspension setups for Virginia International Raceway 
2) Equally as important is that the Subaru is not built to be a drag racing car, but a Rally car. The Subaru's are unbelievable in the sun, rain, mud, snow, turning, sliding, everywhere in every condition. Race the Mustang on a curvy road and watch the Mustang disappear in your rearview mirror. The Mustang does one thing and one thing well, drive in a straight line. In my 2.5RS at any Autocross or Rallycross I easily hand the Mustang's there asses day in and day out over and over. Mustang's at a Rally are a complete joke. With my WRX build, I will take it to the track as well. If you want to compete against a Mustang in a straight line, you are going to need to build your Subaru. If you want to compete against them anywhere else, you already have them beat. Once you build your Subaru, you will truly own a supercar.
