joby 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Great stuff Scott, i remember being stuck at the side of one at 135 mph in my 16v, dont think he believed his eyes :evil: TURBO CHARGED JAPENESE DOG POOH :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Mine had the better of an Impreza on the motorway a few weeks ago :D . I have to say that I didn't expect it after all I'd heard about the impreza's. So you could say that I was unexpectantly suprised :) VR6 - 2, Impreza - 0 :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valver 0 Posted February 24, 2003 That is quite surprising guys, but I suppose the C has more power at the wheels due to 4wd losses etc? I definitely want a C VR6 next!!!! Good work fellas.... :D :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I hit 100mph in 3rd gear at about 6k rpm..... mad ! *:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted February 24, 2003 although its nice to slap a scooby dont get too confident. other than std cars you wont have a chance. a couple of my mates own a jap performance tuning place n their imprezas run 350-400hp giving a C no chance. i can stick with a std one to a level in my G60 n it is std really. scooby push a bar n its a differnet story. manchester Cs take on a jap-innovations car at your peril or the figures will soon even up. crap build quality though. is like being in a rocket taxi u r a bus or is it subaru Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

20valver 0 Posted February 24, 2003 I had a laugh with an EVO 6 this morning in my 16V!!!!! Don't know if it was just how he was driving, but on the straights he would pull away very quickly, but then I was reeling him back in on every corner!!!! Stuck with him passing 15-20 cars/lorries on the A6 after Chesterfield. Great stuff!!!! :lol: I need a VR6!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted February 24, 2003 greatest asset of the scooby is cornering ability. i agree that a turbo'd vr would be a match(maybe if u can get traction) in a straight line but come a corner, n there are lots near us trans penine n you would have no chance. dont knock yourself down though. get third n you, like i do will give a std one more than a fright. the fact that a 2wd, front at that 10yr or so old car can stick it with a 2l turbo class 4wd is good in itself. im not converting to the dark side either. not even tempted and i see these cars on a daily basis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 25, 2003 4wd have great grip, but also massive drive-train losses. The scooby is by far the worse. Drive train loss from flywheel to wheels is 50%!! So same engine, but 4wd, makes it slower than a 2wd counterpart. Good for us :) Now, a Synchro Corrado VR6 Turbo or S/C..... Mmmmmmm :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan 0 Posted February 25, 2003 I think the 0 - 60 in a R32 is 6.2secs against the VR6 at 6.7secs. This is of course in the dry and without wheenspin. A good driver in the VR against an average driver in the R32 could make up the half second easily. The R32 put in a very respectable time arround the 'Top Gear' track, (almost 4secs quicker than the new 300+ bhp Subaru). I guess it depends a lot on how good a driver you think you are :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GazzaG60 0 Posted February 25, 2003 took on a 4motion in the g60. it made no impression. against same car in my mates scooby-destroyed him. just kept pullin away. we times this car at bout 4 secs. problem is the gearbox is a tad weak on subs so it takes balls to try a off-the line in case a diff drops but once moving i dont think a vw if any(maybe a super rallye) especially not a c would have a chance trans penine round the twisties. gotta remember that most races rn't in a straight line, or not where i come from. not that the c handles bad its just i get the feeling that when the power arrives to put up a serious challenge it may be no good thru the front. i feel understeer building when i apply power already. best to be the underdog though init-nothing to lose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
