I was running 380/365 in my last classic and it wasn't quick enough for me,I'll be going for a touch more with my current one.

350 in a classic is balistic, but after a couple of months you'll wanna go 380, Then 400 and so on and so on.

Been there fella and got the bills to prove it unfortunately. However, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't of gone past 350. That is a perfect amount of power for the road, and to be honest i very rarely use the power I've got now. 99% of the time my boost is set to 1 bar, plenty fast enough..

was running 360 /360 before and yes was pretty good but as you say most of the time i dont really go past 30% throttle but feels great in second gear when you want to maybe over take somthing plant your foot and bang your gone lol , dont suppose once you get use to the power you relise how quick it is till you go up against a standard ish scoob running 240 ish and wipe the floor with it

A classic with 330+ is a very nice performance car that won't cost a fortune and will be more than enough for most! Unless you have deep pockets, I wouldn't recommend going much above that!

Been there, done that!

You'll always want more eventually - that's how it goes!

330 in my Type R and it's only for the odd slightly close overtake I need full throttle, otherwise most of the time it's 3/4 throttle squirts for very respectful A/B road progress

New Age you need alot more to feel the same

IIRC dry weight of classic's are around 1200kg?
If so - using this....http://westfield-world.com/power-to-weight.html

Then 350 in a classic put's it in the same power/weight league as....
Jaguar XKR R - (234)
Maserati 3200GT - (237)
Lotus Exige (S1) - (247)
Mercedes CLS55 AMG - (252)
Aston Martin DB9 Volante - (260)
Porsche 911 GT3 (996) mk1 - (271)

Considering what most of those cars cost, it shows what fantastic value for money subarus represent.

Oh Yes! I paid £2700 for my 94 WRX 6 1/2 years ago, and will spend around £4k on getting it to around 400/400.
This would put me in the league of....

BMW M5 (E60) - (278)
Ferrari 550 Maranello - (287)
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG - (295)
Porsche 911 GT3 RS - (997) (302)
Porsche 959 - (315)
TVR T350C - (318)

Kirsty I see you run, I would say that it pulls off the line very well for 330bhp, you sure that's all you got ?
