My best mate hasd just bought a Z4M... straight six with individual throttle bodies with an 8K redline.
They chuck out 343bhp, get it over 4K rpm and it goes absolutely spastic. You would need some serious serious power to pull away from one with any conviction.
In reality, to actually pull away from any car over 350bhp, you need at least another 100bhp more for the same weight. Factor in the 4wd trans loss from the impreza and the scoob doesnt stand a chance. Even with one RWD they still hit 60mph in less than 5 seconds... thats f'kin properly quick!

Cr4p news Tom 
Got a full STi8 engine with 40k miles on it if you need it, AVCS heads and block!
Was going to put it in my Bug, all you need is your standard heads, block should be a relatively easy swap (bar a few bits and bobs) It's going on ebay in the next month or so.
Let me know fella

Tom, try and source some PH2 440 injectors too mate. They flow much better and more efficiently !!! You wouldn't be fitting them for more power but for safety, add to that a 255 fuel pump. Fuel and air mate fuel and air...so get a clean intercooler aswell and a proper induction kit or panel assembly. Any help just ask I am only up the road.
As an aside, the limiting factor being your I/C c.280 bhp for arguments sake. I think you would do well to get hold of a sports cat for the DP and run the rest decat. Save you hassle at MOT time and shouldn't make a great deal of difference to the power figures you want to safely sit between.
