Was running peak of 1.2bar for pretty much the whole day. So... not that much power really. Maybe 340bhp, 320lbft.
Its VERY responsive though Very grippy in the dry but a bit twitchy in the wet
I was happy with it, but I think its speed is a little deceiving with the revs/gears. Its geared a fair bit shorter than a UK Impreza. It really isnt push you in the back of your seat powerfull 
For example - Fee can do 145mph (GPS speed) in 4th, where as I can just about do 100mph.

A lot different to a 'slammed' Corsa thats on 'rails' 
I dont think much of that grip is down to 4WD/AWD either. When I play with the diffs (in the wet) it distributes the power more evenly BUT you end up with more and more understeer the closer to 50/50 you get  Think it only goes to 60/40 (Rear %/Front %).
With the diff in 'open' position very little power goes to the front so the car (or you get more 'push' from the locked diff) essentially feels rear wheel drive (unlike a UK, or JDM non DCCD Impreza)
