Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 18, 2007 I do love the sound of them, the earlier ones are my favourite the P1's but the engine bay aint anything special to look at very untidy IMO wires everywhere! Much rather have the new evo though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Much rather have the new evo though! Too right mate. Choice between new Scooby or new Evo is very easy indeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 18, 2007 Yeah what have they done to the new impreza its just wrong! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted November 18, 2007 They appear to have turned it into a slightly more truncated hatch back of some sort. It looks like a dog with a docked tail or something. :lol: If I went for a Jap myself it would have to be an Integra Type R. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 18, 2007 Nah the car ive always wanted is a skyline r34 gtr best jap car for looks and performance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted November 18, 2007 I like the Scooby's personally. Would love to be able to afford to run one! Drove a UK STI WRX a year or so ago and the performance and handling blew my socks off.. it was an absolute blast on a track! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Nah the car ive always wanted is a skyline r34 gtr best jap car for looks and performance! Never been a fan of the Skyline's looks. They are awesome machines though. I love the new GTR of course. Check this out. The car is covered up but it's worth it for the music and the arguments in the comments. You Tube is so lame sometimes! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted November 18, 2007 I wonder if they've changed the style of it to suit WRC as most of the cars have gone to that type of shape focus', 307's the cars are a lot more compact than they used to be when the audi's, the evos and subarus were kings of WRC!

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted November 18, 2007 If it's a facelift (2003-onwards) Subaru Impreza STi Type UK, then it has 265 BHP at the crank (poss. around 215 BHP at wheels, as they lose a fair bit through the 4wd drivetrain). This said, I still wouldn't have one, as they are everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted November 18, 2007 & sound like they are throwing up when they go up the road. not to mention the plasticy interior..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2 0 Posted November 19, 2007 There are a few locals with Skylines and I'm always shocked by how big a car they are. And Scoobies seem to be the new family car of choice, countless ones round here with 'winnie the pooh' sun visors or fairly robust blonde haired mothers with 2.4 kids in the back. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 19, 2007 STIs have never been as low as 215hp. STIs are the one fans aspire to owning and clone them, but REAL STIs have pink lettering on the fog covers, red intake manifold, water spray, forged internals, different mapping, different turbo etc etc If it was a proper STI, it would have whupped your Corrado's arse big time.

VRTs can get E92 V8 M3s in a headlock and issue a few jabs to the nose aswell ;-) An Evo ix FQ360 though..... no Corrado can come close to keeping up with one of those cross country :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
