Question 400BHP?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...QQcmdZViewItem

Sounds a bit OTT. Not listed any engine mods

If "round 400" means 300 (by comparison with a billion) its close.

Cars that are sold on Ebay are terrible for quoted power figures, generally because owners have not got a clue or they are just trying to big there cars up or because they think that if you bolt on an exhaust you get an extra 30bhp, then an air filter, another 20bhp, then some spark plugs an extra 15bhp and so on.

nope the piucture adds 25BHP itself since it is glossy, plus he probably took it when he was driving past it on some else's driveway
