I'm pretty sure that in 'ideal' world conditions that the top speed would be around 182mph but if it could be reached and how long it would take to reach it is a matter for debate.
You have to overcome resistance from air, tyres and lots of other variables plus the major issue is that Impreza's with TMIC's is air flow to the scoop and prolonged high speed driving.

^^ They often remove the limiter (180kmph) as part of the SVA test or whatever it is called ie when they convert the cars for the UK market.
TX.
PS re top speed, my old 447hp classic topped out at 159mph GPS verified.

with the short gears I would of thought 165 max.
Are you sure you want to do that on the autobahn, can just see your next post coming saying you got a knocking coming from the engine

Need to stick tabs of wool over the bonnet to check airflow.

On a one of our trips to the WRC round in Germany, I remember Dave T commenting that his car (now yours) stopped at 161mph I think it was, according to his GPS. It was still pulling prior to that point and then it was like a limiter came in apparently.
As for my Type 20, my missus was screaming at me as we hit 150mph, so I had to back off.
