classic, newage?

I'll give you an idea. My 300bhp classic ran a similar time on the Nurburgring to my old 200 bhp V6 Mazda. It also ran a similar time to my mates 170bhp fully stripped/prepped 205 Gti.

It all depends on what youre used to. In a standard 280bhp sti you'll have a lot of fun, but may find that you need to be ringing its neck a bit to get the best out of it.

personally, if you're running coilovers and slicks then i'd say 280bhp wont be enough, ideally you want 300+ if you want to beat well driven m3's around a track.

it is all about the driver and driveability of the car.
you have to trust the car and know what happens before it happens.
this will make you fast! especially on a track like nurburgring. horsepower is not so important there. experience is everything!

bhp is only one of many factors that will determine how fast you go round the track and meaningless on its own.

Agreed, the smoother you are on the Nurburgring the quicker you'll be so experience is crutial, same goes for any track really.

280 is more than enough, here's my totally standard STI:
