Default What should a STI7 PPP do the quarter mile in?

As standard what times should an average driver expect?

I imagine that achieving the claimed figures for the other models will involve a similarly brutal treatment of engine/clutch/gearbox.

IIRC, something like bounching it off the limiter then dump the clutch, full throttle changes etc....you only want to do that once

We didn't do a PPP for STI until 2002MY which would make it an STi8..............

Any figures we quote are taken on our track and are done in a similar way to the magazines. One car did about 150 launches and still didn't break or wear out anything but we don't slip the clutch.

The prodrive figures look quite do-able (re: classic)

As I said, I didn't want to not spank the **** off it! Would have liked to get better than 14.7 though.

Need a little more practice I think!
