Own up ;)

bwahahaha

these are the boys who drove XR3i's just a few years back. Ive raced scoobs in various forms of tune and after 100mph they are DEAD IN THE WATER......

FACT!

Not me but I have put them straight on a few things. :D

Scooby Fast? I have NEVER come across a fast one yet:D:D:D;)

My cousin has a subaru (jap import)(tommy kaira kitted) (also more modified then my car) its a sti which has longer gear ratios and is also the equivalent to the prodrive version i think.

 

Off the lights hed always move ahead and i live in london so there would never be enough chance for me to gain some speed on him as we would have to slow down 4 traffic.

 

BUT then we where on the motorway and he shot by me in the fast lane so i decided to teach him a lesson as we where on my territiory.

 

Dropped it in 4th (was doing 80mph) got in the fast lane and shot behind him and he couldint budge so i waited 4 a gap in the middle lane for me to take him (as he wouldint let me pass) and i eventually did and the way my car cruised past him was just to funny the look on his face said it all.

 

He didnt argue with me again about the power of his car.

 

Fas

(scoobys are good cars but better left to nova boyz)

Just gave me 2p on the SN thread......:D

Different cars - I've driven my neighbours new STI with further uprated 300+bhp engine. I have to admit my face was sore grinning. It definitely hits 60 in less than 5. Its hard to get off the line cleanly because it has so much grip. It toasts clutches.

 

Its great but different. Superb brakes too.

 

I can understand how Scooby drivers rave about them.

 

I'm sure its aerodynamics do it no favours at very high speed but not all off us get to drive on private test tracks to find the differences.

I test drove a scooby before a bought a Zed and the scooby drove like a baked bean can, a big ugly one at that!!!

Have'nt they got the same $hitty brakes as us?? I Know the pads are exactly the same as ours on an STI, I'm assuming the discs are also?

The old model normal Impreza did have the same pads but not the same discs as a zed and maybe the new basic turbo is still the same for all I know but the new STI version is has huge Brembos and the big gold Brembo calipers like on MAC1's modded zed if I'm not mistaken.

 

The new STI is a totally different animal to the cooking turbo. The engine is with specially strengthened bridged block and sodium filled valves. 300 plus bhp from a 2 litre is something. 260 is stock UK STI and 220 stock Impreza WRX. This is the new model.

 

The scooby site must have details

 

I'd make sure which it was before taking one on as you could be well embarrassed up to license loosing speeds especially with modded ones as many are!

I think I'll survive;)

Not against me at the Pod you won't ;):D

Dont mean to pi$$ on your chips mate but its all working properly now (touch wood;) ) So if I do see you on the 17th it'll only be in my rear view mirror:D :D

I'll be there on the 17th, with no huge spoiler to weigh me down ;) . Mines running sweee-ee-eet again, thanks to a new TPS and connecting the ECU loom connector properly :o :D .

 

Auto will prevail :D:D And you'll be drinking your own p1ss off my soggy chips :D:D:D;)

 

Pete :)

Just dont cry afterwards is all I'm asking:D

And remember regardless of other mods I'm running, I'm pushing half again as much boost as you AND hard as it may be to believe my alloy wing is actually lighter than that rubberised vinyl piece of $hit I just took off!!!:p :p :p

 

mmm mmmmm Pi$$ 'n chips for you mate!!;) :D :D

Bring it on :D:D !! Boost schmoost ;)

 

My zed will be David to your Goliath! :D

And MATTY!!!!!! - get yourself down to the Pod on the 17th!! And I'll whup yo' ass too! :D:D:D
