Still pulling as strong as the day I had the Prodrive upgrade.

Will have had it 6 years in April. (And been without the SVX )

What did the Prodrive upgrade add?

The standard UK 2.5 turbo is what, 210 or 220 hp? Supposedly the Sti runs 270 or so and a remap and exhaust brings that to 320 easy enough.

What did Prodrive do for yours Andy?

Mine is the 2.0 so the upgrade gave me 220bhp, but more importantly the torque curve was changed, giving 30% more peak, a much flatter curve and the peak at 2500rpm instead of 4500.

Re: Do u reconize what Supercar this is? NWS Warning!

That's good news Andy. It is the beefy torque in the mid range combined with lowish final drive that makes them pleasurable to drive.

I'd fancy an Sti 2.5 myself, but it won't happen this year for a while yet.

Something arousingly interesting for my fellow SVXers.

From my homecountry... Star Academy... This is how Women look like in Leb!
