What is it i keep reading 296 bhp then other places i read 305 BHP

Subaru advertise it as 300 BHP

Also 0-60 is 5.2 some i see 4.8 some i see 5.5

UK 2.5 296bhp (305ps)
JDM 2.0L 305bhp

0-60 is irrelevant.. you'd kill your clutch to obtain those figures... "sub 5 seconds" is pretty much it

Having had a crack at serious 0-60 at Silverstone I can tell you it's hard to be that accurate. You need a really good consistent road surface, everything up to temp, tyre pressures just right, and a disciplined driver, not to mention the right kit to measure it with. If you get it spot on you can arrive at a good figure, but it isn't at all easy to keep doing it to within .1 of a second. Road testers just read out what it says on the dial.

i presume then the yanks have 305 as it seems to me that all there blogs etc say that figure.

and us Uks lot get 296 .

Its weird how the Lb/FT change over the pond etc

yank bhp is not the same as UK bhp...(metric/imperial)

both the same spec/power Ted

Not sure about the torque though

300ps for the UK 2.5's, more for the JDM's

In the real world, the small difference probably all becomes immaterial when driven by a lard **** (me) and a full tank, compared to a skinny waif with 1/3 of a tank

I was looking through some figures in the BHP/Torque for a 2008 STI,
Well on Satuday past I was at the Aberdeen Scoobie Clubs Rolling Road Charity Day.

On the car is fitted -
Adjustable Turbosmart Dual BOV
Hayward & Scott 2.5" Catback System
Pipercross Panel Filter..

Results =
305.3 BHP @ 6350 RPM
287.5 Ft/Lb @ 4??? RPM - Cannot remember exactly RPM

I was expecting 310-315 for the above fitted, but not dissapointed.
