some 16 year old on a forum im on posted a vid of her uncles vectra v6

they are trying to say that it has 400 bhp and does 140mph in 3rd gear

(vauxhall technician [shep] said thats impossible as there isnt a vaux gearbox strong enough)

the reply was "oh but its one out of a subaru impreza" which dug themselves a deeper hole because their built for acceleration!

and also on the video, the engine looked standard and defo had a standard airbox

yet they are convinved it has 400bhp

so we are waiting for a graph to prove it!

172 with all that crap, they're 174 standard I'm sure. Gutted.

There's an evo at the cruise near me like that, 600bhp sticker on the wing, and some guy on a BMX told me it was true because the guy in the evo told him.

I did ask him what he thought the service interval would be on an artificially aspirated car with such a high specific output, but he rode off.

Ahh not adjusted for transmission losses, so should be in excess of 200 ish?

My mistake, I thought the hubs was the name of the road
