Some might think this is crazy to say but...

Is there a figure in a cossie 2.0 where you chase figures for sacrifice of enjoyment?

What I mean is, to a far lesser extent I’ve messed with imprezas and I think the sweet spot of a 2.0 STI (that revs to 8krpm) is 340bhp. At that figure you’ve got decent spool still and nearly 5krpm of full boost to enjoy.

Surely a turbo that’s on full boost in a 2.0 at 7krpm is a bit silly?

Or am I just getting old? It just doesn’t impress me and must be dog-turd to drive on anything other than the strip to say you’re the fastest ‘cossie’

It’s like getting a toffee hammer and adding a load of lead weight on the back to crack a coconut, just pick up a bigger hammer?
