Something for the Scooby powered boys to get excited over... From the Sydney Morning Herald:
294kW. 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. Meet Subaru's fastest WRX STI hot-hatch.
Subaru has teamed up with renowned tuning company Cosworth to create a limited-edition WRX STI hot-hatch with supercar-rivalling acceleration.
The new Impreza STI CS400 will sprint from standstill to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds according to the Japanese car maker, making the five-door quicker than many Lamborghinis and Ferraris.
Cosworth has made major modifications to the STI's 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder to generate 33 per cent more power than a regular, 221kW STI - 294kW produced at 5750rpm.
Subaru has yet to release further details, but Britain's Autocar magazine reports that the engine has 539Nm of torque and gains strengthened mechanicals, a high-pressure oil pump, remapped software and revised turbo.
The CS400 also sits on a revised, 10mm-lower suspension, reportedly co-developed by Cosworth, dampers specialist Bilstein and springs expert Eibach. New 18-inch black alloy wheels fill the hatch's wheel-arches, with the front wheels slowed by larger front brakes made by AP Racing.
Bodywork tweaks include revised front bumper with mesh for lower air intake and larger foglights.
Don't bother contacting you local Subaru dealer, though.
Only 75 CS400s are being built and will be sold from June in the UK only, priced at £49,995 ($87,000).

40% less weight = 40% more capacity to handle power.
5 speed Subie Sti v4 or GTB box (not even Sti 6 speed) factory rated to 206kw.
206kw + 40% = 290kw : same as this new super duper sti puts out.
So no need to even go PPG aftermarket gears - judging by the maths.
But the real world will prove/disprove.......
Reversed gears for Subaru transmissions.
