Again, I can see stock 200~240hp (240hp was original WRX hp #s). As for STI they really need to work on internal IF they wanna push 280~300hp.

It will be really hard for them to sell the cars with less HP even if the weight is way down. Buyers are just stubborn that way sometimes. I think they could do 265 with a dedicated performance design, reliably (easily, if they have to homologate it for racing). And the North American STI could always go with a 2.0L turbo 'big block' version (beefed up turbo FT86 motor) and make 300+ no problem, while maybe the Euro and JDM STI gets a crazy VGT turbo 1.6L that revs out to 8500 and has 18 pounds of boost.
