I think the gearing of a uk Sti would allow it or close to it, but having the power to pull it there is a different story

Find a constant steep declined straight road for 10 miles and you may stand a chance

And yes my jdm blob has seen over 170, we can play with evo's too you know

i think it would be cheaper to buy an escort cosworth, do a Lipu on it and make it look like an impreza, spend about 5k on the engine and gearbox then you might come close and still have change to buy a real scooby than it would cost to get a scooby to 200 mph
