Thats a lesson for a lot of people on here on what a Subaru Impreza is about!
And from only 300 BHP!

I know the guy who prepared tommi makinen's wrc cars and reckons the 300bhp is a total myth. 1200+kgs and 300bhp does not = 0 - 100mph in sub 8 seconds.

What could the break be on that then? My understanding was that it was the greater amount of torque which made it so quick?

I know they have to be road legal to comply with the rules (number plate etc) but just out of genral interest would a wrc pass an MOT or do they not count? i dread to think what it would cost jo public to insure but i think i would be right in saying it would have alot of zeros on the end.
If i hit the lotto at the weekend i know what i'll be doing with a big wedge of the cash

I'm confused - 300bhp and that quick!? I understand the power to weight ratio but how much lighter is this car than the standard road car?

Reading the spec the cats are still in place too - do subaru sell an anti lag system?

...with all the buttons to go with it.... ...I wouldn't mine one in my WR1!

As power junkie says I'm sure I read somewhere it's the torque that makes em go so quick.....the film clip comes across as though the standard STI was standing still....

If you want Anti Lag the GRD project Car has Anti Lag installed on the standard Newage ECU. But the MPg is a bit poor!

Poor than what my standard WR1 would give?...MPg can range from 16-23mpg depends on how heavy the foot is!

600Nm at 4000 revs equates to 340 Bhp . read into that what you will ?

It begs the question why are so many people on here BHP obsessed?
Its my understanding that when Prodrive have developed Performance upgrades they concentrate on as they quote " Usable Mid Range Torque" than "Unusable Top End Power".?

^^ Would they be better to run a BMW like twin turbo diesel then

Apologies if I've shown a ridiculously (sp?) poor knowledge of how the WRC is run.
