Well, overall im very pleased with the car! It feels like quite a nice jump in power from the 400bhp one although not quite as mental as I was expecting, however in the wet it's a different story - 65mph and foot to the floor = back end out!
I'll get some pics of it up when I've given it another clean etc, but I took a quick vid yesterday to get a rough idea of the speed. Bearing in mind I was pulling out of a junction so not accelerating hard right at the start...

Like I said, I was turning out of a junction onto the main road so couldn't go full throttle. I'll get some more pics/vids up when the roads are dry and I feel 100% comfortable in the car but at least it gives an idea

That is about a 6 second 0-60.. Does seem a big slow. But the pull from 60-115 is impressive.

Dosnt seem to go long in the gears tho or sound very boosty if you get me.

Looks no quicker than my last Scooby...320 BHP

No offence BTW.Maybe when you get used to it you might get it quicker...is that full throttle after 40 mphish?

Hmmm yeah i'd have expected more drama with 500bhp. I remember going in AK's 500bhp Supra in the wet & that went & sounded like the world was ending!!

tbh the first vid doesn't sound like he's using full throttle i've driven a 400bhp gts and i ragged its nutts off, was reving it longer and it felt like the turbo came on boost and held it longer than the first vid.. Get a vid up of giving it death and it will change peoples tune..

Back end goes out really easily in a standard gts-t, extra Bhp ftl. I've been in a couple of fast ones, they don't live up to the gt4 legend, imo.

Looks fast higher up the gears, the 500+cars I've been out in have all been mental fast when on full throttle.

id agree with nic tbh, for shear fact no normal person would ever boot a 500bhp car out of a junction in the wet, plus you seem to change into 2nd at 30, 3rd at 60, 4th at 90? No way is that full throttle.

I look forward to see vids in a straight line in the dry

Agree'd for a briskish pull-off thats impressive

I've never really "watched my speedo before", I was curious so I had a little go in the Impreza.. I held the phone with my hand on the wheel (private road ofcourse) so I wasnt going to exactly launch it but I pulled off and gave it a little bit of beans:



Never realised how fast it gets to 30!
