By using that math and claiming that 200 whp is low you're assuming that Subaru used 93 octane and that the motor in your car would do 300 hp on an engine dyno
There are SAE standards now for measuring and reporting horse power by the OEMs. It changed a few years back from each OEM doing their own thing to them all following the same procedures and standards in the US. In theory, 305 hp from Subaru is the same as 305 hp by GM, though the shape of the curves may be different.

Interesting to note how much quicker the Mustang loads and hence, spools the turbo.
