Well after 6 years of ownership I've decided to have a break and change from Impreza's. I've learned a hell of a lot whilst here and from going to local and national meets, made some good friends also.
I'm sure I'll be back to the fold one day but for now I want to experience a different marque and driving style, so I've gone a bought a VXR8 (09) with some nice subtle mods, wheels, stiffer springs and exhaust system to name a few bits. Owned also by a fellow enthusiast and well looked after.
A mate on here got a very quick JDM STi that got his **** handed to him by a supecharged VXR8 in the summer. Spoke to the guy who was on the way to the car show we was attending(he got there first) and he said he was running 700bhp
Yeah heard of a few running that kind of power, the chap I bought the car off knew a guy running 700+ in a supercharged version, he said it was like being in a roller coaster when he went full throttle. Coincidently the guy I just bought this off also used to run a JDM Hawk running close to 500 bhp.
Kedlestone, there is a great HSV section on Pistonheads that should introduce yourself to they are a very friendly bunch and there is a fountain of knowledge with regard to the LS engine
