I would have been maybe 13, so 2000. My uncle had just got his 98 wrx back. He likes to brag and always 1 up his mates. So dynoed at 500 to the wheels. Super laggy, but my uncle just wanted a sheet with a number to 1 up his mate who had a 400hp 99 wrx. So nothing, nothing, nothing.... 4000rpm then all the boost. Same day then i jumped in my brothers mates 383 stroker hq tonner. He was still ironing out things as he had just put on a high rise manifold and a 1050cfm carb but i sat shotgun for a drive to eastern creek. Once he got past traction issues, that thing was fast. Once it was ironed out, it made something like 580 to the wheels.
When i was an L plater, the first fast car i drove was a 308 powered uc torana. So it had a 3500rpm converter, dunno the power, but it had slips for 12.8 quarter. Yes it was all chassis flex, but on a launch it would lift a wheel. Only 1, but still, that to me was pretty epic. It was a completely impractical street car, but it made me smile.
