thanks for the compliment impreza but i fail to see how 300rwkw would be safe on the street at all, i'm all for power but it can bring you unstuck very easy, and road surfaces differ greatly these days, one patch of road can be really sticky while the next will let the wheels slip third gear in the dry, way to many variables ....or maybe my balls just aren't big enough. who knows!

doesnt always come down to big balls.. but more common sence.. if ur baggin treads on the highway at over 100kph.. then there is a good chance **** mite go wrong if ur not too confident with the car and ur own driving skills... but on a more realistic note.. nobody should be baggin treads at 100kph on the highway anyway.... 300kw is safe on the street. as long as there isnt an absolute ****head behind the wheel... this is the reason why i dont plan to get to 300kw hahahahaha !! j/k.

But you cant use the 300kw on the street. Even if you have it. Its more of a hinderance than anything IMO, as you'd be slower than a lower powered car due to traction. I think that is JUSTA6's point. A lot of 10-11 sec rwd turb cars wind down the boost when just cruising around, and just wind it up for the track. Either that or they just dont hit boost.

i am just shy of 300kws at the wheels but i could get it if i had a strong box let me tell u it isnt cheap i have spent $22000 on my engine, computer and turbo i know it is alot of money but u will be impressed and ur engine wont break down as easy. and i dont want the boost down for the street i like breaking traction past every car i dare say i am not scared lol
