Drove my friend's STI a few years ago.
Turbonetics turbo, fuel management, ignition management, and e-adjustable waste gate. It had guts! Scary fast @ 435bhp. It was just a toy compared to his GSX Eclipse @ 612bhp. Either one in stock form was formidable in the streets, but with his mods they became scary to drive. He sold both about a year ago to start a 1100bhp 04 Skyline project.
Makes me wish I could find an idea to patent, then sell the rights for 7.5million!!!

I traded for a R/T Neon with twins years ago. It was sick. Don't really know the HP figures but it would break loose and tourqe steer at 85-95 hitting 4th gear. I decided that was too fast to be spinnin tires in a tin can....
Also, had a 03 Cobra with twins and an automatic that laid down 785 RWHP. That thing was sick. But the most fun car I have ever sat in was a 03 Cobra with a Kenny Bell Charger that put down 640 RWHP and was a 6 speed. Man that thing was nuts! I only had the fun of selling and driving these things to lunch terrorizing Greenwood.
Jimbo should remember the 95 Cobra we had with the Pro-Charged 347 stroker. I was coming by his house to leave a courtesy mark and the City PoPo yanked me and said the car had to be illegal because it was so loud it rattled his windows. Car really wasn't even that fast though.
Still love my 69 Camaro though. Built 355 with about 450 at the fly wheel. Ran a 8.60 on street tires spinning like crazy. Should do high 7's if it would hook. Ready to put an LS and a modern 6-speed in it though....
