Taken from You & Your Subaru
Classic PPP WR Version was timed unnofficially by Autocar at 4.96 0-60
Compare that with your WRXs STIs and surely there would be nothing in it??
Obviously 80+ would be a different story....sadly my TD04 starts running out of puff

Only hassle with it is it's just starting to seriously pickup once you've finished overtaking, so it's rather easy to end up going a lot quicker than you wanted.
Guess you've never had an impreza with a shorter ratio gearbox on it?
With regards the difference between a classic import and uk car, check the power curves through the rev range- there's a lot more to making a uk as fast than just turning up the boost.

I would have said that it gives you a better picture of the power/torque through the rev band. Anyone can have a really peaky power delivery, but if youve got torque on tap whenever you need it its better surely?
