I looked for an 08 STI stock dyno..Found this (though didn't care to search and search)
Rated 305bhp and puts down ....
This is what I call under-rated for insurance.. Stock SS/SC rated at 205BHP and puts down..

i believe you. a good friend of mine at work bought an 05 STI and it had a cold air intake and full exhaust with catless downpipe and lightweight pulley's. we raced FROM A DIG, and i spun all of first and half of second as he pulled out in front by about 1 car length, but once my crappy stock tires started to grip i walked out to about 1&1/2 cars. and the kicker is he didnt have any excuses!!!

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to reply...
I need to update my sig, as a new motor is in the works.
For now, I've got headers/full exhaust, and a fresh carb on it. It's tuned pretty well, and I'm a good driver.
I'm pretty sure I had driver mod on me. He didn't lose too bad, but he shoulda whomped me.

Wow very surprising
. I have a similar car but with a couple more mods and have put down 211 rwhp and 270 rwtq. With that said I have raced multiple STI's and usually lose by about a car or two through three gears....thats from a roll. I can take WRX from a roll pretty easily. But ya idk about actually beating an STI. Though that AWD drive does suck HP... it makes power like a 275hp car not a 305hp car.
