^ I agree. It sounds more like the high strung 2.0 than the 2.5 but that could definitely be attributed to a new header/exhaust configuration. I am hoping for ~320ish hp and still think the matte "fill-ins" are hiding the true width of those sexy fenders.

Sure "looks" top heavy...

ps: It better be way more than "nearly 300hp".

That's a RHD and it sounds more like the high revving EJ207 flat four with twinscroll and equal length headers.

What if that "nearly 300hp" is AWHP from the factory? Instead of crank hp... That's what 345ish at the crank? Total guess on my part, but an easy way to "disguise" it since most people like crank hp vs whp when talking power from factory.

Meh, the vid said "2.5L flat four" but I'm hoping they are wrong about the "nearly 300bhp" ...but you know..."nearly" could just mean around 300 hp and no one said that it had to be under 300...becuase 290 hp is "nearly" 300...and so is 320. LOL. WOuldn't that be interesting if they down played the HP?
