I see EVO rates the P1 3rd best car of the year. Is the P1 setup better than a STI type R, or is it just not taken into account being that it is an import only car ?

The P1 setup is significantly different to a standard import wrx.

I've taken mine up the bumpiest road I know. At 80, it feels like the road is smooth. My passenger could not beleive it.

They bugger about with a load of other things as well.
