View Full Version : 555Danny - API built my 12.2 sec 1/4 Mile Car !
555danny 25 April 2007, 22:23 As a new member to ScoobyNet but an avid subaru owner and fan for 6yrs "technology" is not my strong point!!
I want to acknowledge David from API and Pat (my Mapper) for building and tuning my Subaru Impreza WRX STI V3 Type R 555 Special Edition ( 1 of 250)
With 2400 miles on my fresh engine me and my wife arrived at Avon Park, Shakespeare County Raceway at 11am on Sunday 22nd April, and by 11.34.51sec I had completed my 1st 12.2 sec 1/4 mile, then proceeded to acheive five further 12.2sec consistant 1/4 mile...!
Considering my rear tyres are "Falcon" and shot to pieces, and running standard tyre pressure (straight off the road) I was delighted.
I was even more delighted when was my name was announced over the PA system as Shakespeare County Raceway's 4 cylinder Street Car Class winner..!!!!!!
Whilst we where there I met Renton from SCCE who pulled out the bag an outstanding 12.9 sec standing 1/4 ....which I have since found out he did WITHOUT using his clutch...!!!!
We can confirm that we will be attending the SCCE gathering at the Oak in Bagington at 1pm on Sunday pm, along with my car and my trophy (the one from Avon raceway....as well as the Wife...!!)
Thanks again to Dave, Ken & Nathan from API
I am sure there is 11 sec in him....!!! (with a set of Toyo Proxy 888's)
Kind regards
Danny Clarke
P.S YES MY CAR IS A BOY "SONIC" AND YES I DO KISS IT GOOD NIGHT!!
Danny, that`s a fantastic time, they are a good bunch, they`re doing mine as we speak, hope to meet you sunday all being well.
........Pete.

APIDavid 03 May 2007, 14:41 Mr Clarke is an exception, we've seen him out driving, he gets the 'GOLD STANDARD' warranty. 3 miles or 3 minutes whichever sooner.
Lucky, we seemed to have got away with that too.

Although, I really do think I ought to do the good European thing and report you for using imperial measures.
Please amend your user name to .35Litre or divine retribution will fall upon you. And you 'll be forced to spend your days in Strasbourg......
