scooby-tc have to agree with what you say as I understand it, it was known as a gentlemans agreement between the jdm manufacturers.

That was my point Tony,if the same stock car makes 316 on jap map after 'it's loosened up' then it could never have been 280ps to begin with.
As you say yours made 288 with low miles,thats equates to over 290ps to start with
hence the only way to get these cars through that weird jap rulng was to 'quote' 280ps which is isnt

Also try this it will work any car out as long as you know the power and weight.

(closest is about 13.? secs to 100) though Mike Wood did say that getting those figures didnt do the car any favours!Tony

How are we defining fastest here?
Straight line speed or around a circuit?
Either way I would put the top few at something like:
Spec C Type RA-R
S202 maybe ???
S203/S204
Spec C Type-RA
Spec C

Only info on the ra-r i can find is here.....2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec C Type RA-R
If it was based on hp per/ton then the s202 is a winner.
Would agree with the ra-r being quickest round a circuit though.
But acceleration is all about power to weight is it not???

I think the max flow limit of the standard system is around the 350bhp level. I think that is why my car didn't make more considering what I've done to it.

There would only be a nats nadger between a RA-R and normal Spec C in acceleration. A couple of BHP is one thing, but also don't forget you boyz with the ***** Spec's (whatever derivatives) that have elecy windows and air-con. Some Spec C's don't have them and thus are lighter.
I would really like to see a standard MY03 Spec C go against a RA-R on acceleration. I can not see the results being much different.

Lol @ Shaun with his ***** Specs..
Remember fella, i,ve been way up there in power terms with ALOT harder cars than these things to control..
But remember too folks, 20-30bhp is HARDLY noticable at all, for a car to pull away from a standard Spec C considerably it,d need to be 400+ imo.
When my Evo was 479bhp/453ft/lb i raced MANY so called 500bhp GT30 Evos and there was hardly anything in it.
Anyway, it,s how they handle that interests me more, any ***** can do 150mph in a straight line....

Yes the Spec C is a lot quicker due to being twinscroll which virtually eliminates lag wheras the VF24 on my Type R although spooling quickly is still leagues behind.
Remeber i am comparing 2 totally standard cars i have no doubt a modded type r would be a match for a spec c

Pete,
You have the least hardcore version of the Spec C. 
The REAL Spec C (i.e. mine) without the fancy comforts IS the hardest is it not?
As regards to the EVO's..... perhaps they get trounced by lesser powered Scoobs, because the EVO bull RR flywheel calculator is slightly out of kilter with the real world. Divide by 76 and times by 100.... my bum.
