Have a look on SIDC for the exact figures but I think early STi's had approx 250bhp, roughly 1995-99 STi's had 280bhp then the very last classic STi's arre supposed to have 300bhp

Did you get beaten by one mate, and you want to make sure it had more power than you

Think you'll find that from my97 onwards, all sti saloon's had around 295-300bhp. My sti 4 (standard at the time) got 293 bhp on the rollers with a 'blowing' exhaust!

Spot on mate!
The later STi's official figures by Subaru were 280bhp (as per the Japanese Gentlemens agreement) but in reality they are pushing out anything from 300-305bhp approx.

I found my Sti Type-R V5 to be pushing out 330bhp on 100octane fuel and a de-cat exhaust.
Now its back in the UK and has a cat. and will be running on Optimax, I predict the figure will be down to around 300bhp.

Itll feel quicker because the early RAs have a 4.333:1 final drive. as standard, a 1995 RA will have 260PS as already stated.

i'm confused here cos a book i've been reading has stated my MY95 STI RA has got 275PS so where you all getting 260PS from? mines got the trick bits on it like water spray, dccd and a roof vent.

Dave they think you're car is a WRX-RA not an STI-RA, thats why they are quoting 260ps.
With you're car being an STI-RA it will have 275ps.
