Of all the current Super Gtis, there isn't one that can match a classic to 60, or do any better in more relevant the 30-70mph increment. Not bad for a 10 year old car. When it comes to the twisties, there still isn't much to beat the Scooby, and if its raining, it's advantage Scooby all the way! Then you have the SOUND, the reliability, the modification potential, the community and -of course- a certain kudos from the links to WRC.
They don't have the performance end of the market to themselves as they once did, but be in no doubt, they are still very capable, very fast cars!
Respect is due!!

From the SIDC's FAQ's:
One of the main reasons for anyone buying the Impreza is the absolutely stunning levels of performance it offers for the money. For the 4 door saloon, Subaru claim 6.4 seconds for the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint, and a maximum speed of 143.5 mph (97/98 models). The figures for the five door hatchback are 6.5 seconds and 142 mph respectively. All of this from a standard car costing around £21,000 on the road!
As many performance tests have proved over the years, these figures (particularly acceleration) are somewhat conservative.
Both Performance Car and Autocar magazines tested the 4 door saloon (pre '97 model) with an identical 5.9 seconds for the dash to 60 mph. These tests were carried out with a driver, passenger and a full tank of fuel over a number of runs to eliminate the effects of wind assistance/resistance.
On 4th Feb. 98, Autocar tested a 1998 specification five door hatchback. A top speed of 143 mph was recorded, with the 0-60 mph time being dispensed with in only 5.5 seconds, and 0-100 mph in 15.8. The standing 1/4 mile was completed in 14.2 seconds at 97 mph. The 30-70 mph increment was achieved in 5.6 seconds (a whole 1 second faster than a manual Porsche Boxster!)
However, the most remarkable tests were carried out on a standard 4 door saloons during November 1997. Firstly Top Gear magazine covered the 0-60 mph sprint in only 5.2 seconds! Then Performance Car (sadly no longer with us), as part of their 0-60 challenge timed the Impreza at a mind blowing 5.03 seconds for the 0-60 sprint, with the 1/4 mile being covered in 13.72 seconds at 100.6 mph. It should be noted though, that the Performance Car tests were carried out at Santa Pod drag strip (quality grippy tarmac), with only the driver, a near empty fuel tank and in one direction only.
Other magazine tests confirm that the standard Impreza turbo is easily capable of sub 6 second sprints to 60 mph, with a top speed in excess of 140 mph.

Wheelspin in the dry!?!? Your tyres must be buggered!
Goodyear Eagle F1 GDS3s are very highly regarded as an excellent "all rounder".
Do a search in the tyres forum. Loads of info

What spec do you have on that to acheive that power output Bob? I take it you've uprated the clutch! Can't say I've ever managed to make the wheels spin on mine, but then I do drive it like a wuss.....most of the time!

Typically if you can get 10% wheelspin then thats max acceleration, apparently

Project and spec detailed here:

I just find it hard to believe that people can get any significant wheelspin. 4years+ and 50k+ miles and much hard driving and launching.

At a guess typically it is said that the drivetrain losses on an impreza is 75-80 BHP.
So 140 BHP ATW would be a fair number.

12.4secs 1/4mile on current spec
Guess it could be quicker with harder launches?
