That thing sounds awesome! There's a vid on there from fuel tv where he's takin people around. Wonder how much HP that thing is putting out - I think the STI's are over 300 stock.

He probably throws very little if any money at it and it is not a play thing for him, it is work...sort of :biggrin:

I have actually had the chance to talk with him about the gymkhana cars. Those cars are funded mostly by him. SOA picks up PART of the tab for his rally racing, as well does vermont sports cars and and a few other companies.

Surprisingly it only has 390 AWHP..... certainly enough to get the job done though.

A STI on a mustang dynometer will put out about 230 AWHP bone stock. It is hard to get a good reading off of the dyno's though.....There isn't a set calibration on them. I remeber putting my car on two different dynometers on the same exact day....there was a 40 HP discrepancy. I also remeber the day that we re-calibrated a dyno and had a stock audi s4 make over a 1000 HP.

I just pulled the info off of this site, I don't really know what I am talking about.
