Thumbs up

There seems to be alot of nudge-nudge, wink-wink comments about power output figures from STi PPP. Some of you know the real figures so come on, let us all know.

You will be lucky, until teh PPP is signed off from Prodrive you wont get any official comments due to the Non-Disclousre Agreements that will be in place.

Yes I know, and no I can't say as Prodrive have told me not to.

But prepare to be pleasantly surprised

276bhp I reckon oops sorry that the standard JDM version .

I would hope its at least 300 but 350 would be unlikely but better

Pleasently surprised???
I did not believe it until i saw the print out......
strange size back box though, definately not what i would expect.
Rob
some people may think i am talking crap, however the owner of this STI will come out, i would love to know what all this secrecy is about..... is it a matter of our countries safety....
The worst thing is that normally i would just post the figures but i feel that i may upset someone.... as stated in the other thread, PE had an STI with PPP in on friday....... say no more....

Talking

Well I was at my local dealer and got him to ring Prodrive and all he could get out of them was, 300bhp. He wouldn't tell us the torque, which is the bit I'm interested in.....

What are we waiting for Dave?

Cheers,

Matt

As far as I am aware, some dealers appeared to have jumped the gun as PPP info shouldn't have been released quite yet.

If that is the case, the info is not in the public domain yet, which is why I will not post it. If I am told anything, the first thing I ask is whether it is public knowledge or not. If it isn't, and I go blabbing about it, I will never be told anything again.......

For example, I had a picture of the P-FF7 wheels back in February, but couldn't post it until they were released a couple of weeks ago. I could of course have just accidentally posted a picture of my car at Prodrive with the wagon with them on coincidentally in the shot, but that would have been sneaky - so I didn't.....

I remember those ppl who went to the Prodrive days saying that the demo cars had around 320bhp (which is quite a realistic figure) but like most people have said, its not just about the BHP its about the torque and how its curved so knowing that Prodrive had had alot of test time with this car i would be expecting a good level for boost pickup from around 2500 (as most complain about the 4k pickup) and a nice increase of upto... 300lbs of torque?
All guess work id say but this is what id like to see the car pushing out

Perhaps prodrive are not willing to give a definitive answer on PPP Torgue and Power figures as all cars(milage add on Etc and rolling roads are different )
They may just get the Dealers Demos done and say PPP has done this to it and Should do the same for yours as Dave-Ts has said it's not the figures, it's the drivability that counts with big figures LOL

Tony

Ps IMHO and can't wait till friday
