Once traction is sorted, thats what, about 80/90 mph ?

I have driven a few standard ones, there was a hint of complimentary exaggeration based on high power plus 1980's technology.

My Saab 9-3 LPT 150, on Dunlops would spin the fronts up to 80 mph coming off a wet bend.

It was a backhanded compliment !

My dad's boss had one of those, but I don't recall it being spectacularly fast. I do remember it eating gearboxes though!

I do suspect that this had been got at as it felt more than the figures suggested, plus it was through Trafford Park, plenty of obstacles.

i've got a series one rs turbo thats running 227bhp and very very quick, way quicker than most imprezas as i've done track days in my rs turbo so a ideal time to compare them, i've owned a uk impreza and a sti ra and their not that quick in my opinion, i've just bought a evo 5 and as a standard car is way better than my old imprezas

You'll get over it Dave.

The first long trip you do in the Evo


I had an Ahmed Bhajoo chipped Series 2 Cabriolet a few years back. Supposedly 180bhp with the uprated fuel and ignition ECUs and hybrid.

It could have been the car, but it never felt half as faxt as my 190BHP 5GTT.
But, it didin't break down as much.
