Why not?

Officially, 276. Unofficially, about 290 in bog-standard trim.

It sounds like you're being incredulous, but I'll get back to you on the prat thing.

265 for the uk sti flagship model is not good
It's enough, and if you want more, there's the PPP.

whats the new evo ? 300+
No, the "standard" one is rated at 276 but doesn't produce that much on a dyno. There's also a 260bhp version, together with the FQ300 and FQ330, which are technically post-registration upgrades like the PPP.

sorry i know 265 is good, but i really thought it would be around the 300 mark
Why? Apart from being a nice round number, in what way is it "not good enough"?

265 is just not high enough noway days
I'd back myself to drive away from pretty much anything in a standard STi. They're not slow cars by any stretch of the imagination. If you do want more, buy the PPP.

with seat supra cupra doopas at 230 odd with no wieght, alright they dont go round bends !
The Impreza is sold in a completely different class to the Seats, there's no need for Subaru to be seen to compete with them, in power terms, or indeed any other way.

Sorry greasemonkey, i know i you have this kind of thing against us pwoer freaks,but thanxs for the mature feedback (:

I thought that the old sti imports where around 276, mine is 272 on pwer eng dyno,and i get kicked all over the place by my m8s astra turbo, ex,re-map,high flow air filter, of course this does not happen on twistys, and yes we are very sensable
