Well I have read the 0-100-0 thread with interest as I have been contemplating buying an EVO 8 or the STi 8 for a while now. I just wondered if anyone has had a STi 8 with PPP on a rolling road to see if the claimed figures in this department stack up.

There was an STi7 type UK with PPP at well lane that pushed 311bhp, but the PPP isnt just about though the gear power, its also about in gear power (which a performance car is all about, thus the difference between performance and hot hatch

)

Tony

PS, if this isnt enough power for you then get an MY03 Spec C STi

with 322bhp

(see www.litimports.co.uk for details).

I had my STI8 PPP at well lane at the shootout the car had 2.5k on the clock at the time and produced 311bhp,

Comments from the guy who did the run said it was the first time he had a PPP'd STI8 on the rollers and he was very impressed and felt that there was more to come as the car loosened up, the car now has 6k on the clock and is starting to loosen up nicely now,

i have the power trace somewhere, if i find it ill put it up on here
