How does it feel to drive 350 bhp Coupe.I am going to mod mine 20vt with some bits and i think that its gonna have close 350 bhp.So i am curious to know how it looks like compared to some cars with similar power output?

Dare I say...quick?

Shame you're not nearer the UK, there seem to be plenty of owners here who are happy to demonstrate what big power is like.

The problem is that it costs a lot of mney to get to 350bhp, and when you do, it feels SO fast, but only for a short time. So - you spend treble the previous amount and go for 400bhp and when you get there, it feels SO fast, but only for a short time, so you spend ten times the original amount, etc etc etc

To be honest, a 350bhp Coupe is 95% as fast as a 400bhp 95% of the time. In some circumstances, the lower power car will actually be quicker, especially on a twisty road.

I'm happy with 240bhp, yes in fairness I'm getting used to it but it's only when you drive it at normal speeds then open it up you remember you have a fast car and you get that buzz

I'm with Nigel on this one, you get used to the speed very quickly. But I would definately miss it if it wasn't there.

The cure is to spend each working day driving a runabout diesel.

It costs less than having to continually chase power. And everytime I get in my coupe, I'm amazed at how quick it is!

Yes I think I'll be getting a runaround this winter and saving the coupe for better days.

I had forgotten how quick your car was Mark, and that was only at 1.2bar!

Spot on, going from 100bhp/ton to over 300 is great

I'm sure you are used to that power Leighton. You are probably not used to it going in 3rd gear so easily

100bhp/ton??? My runaround won't be anywhere near that! I'm looking for around 50

Bits that i am going to mount on the car soon:
-gt 2871 a/r 064
-walbro 255
-384 ccm injectors
-3" full turbo to the back of the car custom exhaust
-FMIC
-light head job with ported manifolds
What bhp figures i can expect from this setup?
Just to mention standard internals.

SIP/plugs/EBC/clutch/remap?

You should keep at mind, that only a very small % of people can take everything from a 300hp car on a road and espesially on a track )

In town a can push my Renault Logan as fast as another guy drives his STi ) Depends on the experience and balls )

So if you are REALLY ready to drive 300hp Coupe - you will be satisfied for a long time, until your qualification will meet the abilities of the car )

Bloomin heck! You must be a strong man to be able to push a car at 30mph.

30???? It's in Moscow, we have a limit of 60km/h, but nobody drives slower then 120.... After 120 you will loose your license.

120 in heavy trafic is a challange for a driver, not for a car.

S...t! Just now I realized what you mean... My english has set me up already. Saying push I meant "driving very fast", not pushing a car by hands.

In russian we have a phrase - "to give a car a good kick at the ass". Which means open a full throttle )))

Sorry guys...

Hehe, it means the same here but for a cheap laugh I decided to take it literally.

Oh, and i never plan to drive in Russia, sounds like a nightmare

Well, we have really wide roads ) And after Morocco or Indonesia I can't say we drive crazy...
