Default Average power of SN user's cars

I was talking to a mate a few days ago and we got talking about my car and the amount of power it has.

Compared to some of the figures you see on here, 320 bhp isn't much, but to my mate, who doesn't use this site, it seems a massive amount.

I was trying to make the point that there are more people that use this site, with cars that make 400+ bhp (which I consider to be big bhp) than he'd expect, to which he replied that he doesn't know of anyone that lives locally that has a car with as much power as mine, and neither could I.
However, me nor him tend to visit meets, so can't really guage what's knocking about.

Purely out of interest, what would you consider to be the average power figure (bhp wise) for the cars owned by users of this site?

I know there's plenty of factors that can alter the figures given and that figures prove nothing really, I'm just curious as to what figures have been achieved on the rolling road.

can't believe there are so many in the 300+ category, should do separate polls for WRX and STi?
