Evidently there is a "rule" or such in place that a manufacturer can elect one vehicle to be exempt- they chose the STi -that's the way it was explained to me- previously 02/03 WRX held this distinction.
For any doubting Thomas's on it's negative effect- I've seen my AM bomb from a full 16 to a lowly 3 or 4 in a single 3rd gear pull. Also audibly heard detonation.
If you have a 04+ you should seriously consider altering this delay- stock or not.
