Don't worry, I'm with you. Most often I'll play back if its safe to do so but a lot of peeps refuse to ever go over 100mph and that is their choice.
Since you've played with a few of them, what's been the result?

I reckon there bl**dy quick especially from 60-100 but they seem to tail off again after that. They're pretty nifty in the twisty stuff aswell. Would I be right in thinking you were after the dark blue mica 'T' plate Turbo in Bury Lancashire a few months ago if so did you get it ????

The one i encountered on the way to Madchester was on the Motorway and it was a steady pull away from him 90 till i lifted the foot at 125 ish
Licence thoughts running through my head at that point

You should hear it now 
At the time it seemed like a total bargin but compared to what happened to the prices a month or so after I bought it 
Also, a few of the panels and the roof have been resprayed. I investigated and confirmed it hadn't been in a crash but it has been vandalised Its near impossible to see except in some lights on the roof but this might make it a little difficult to sell on.

Thought you had an STI5 = 276B.H.P Standard, a bit like a Scooby turbo racing a sport.
You beat it through the twisties, could have been my Grannie driving.

No wrong spy
What do you drive? Where you at?portlethen me thinks
Well one i would not openly accept such a challange on here
Secondly i don't think i would waste fuel on a tail happy wedge like yours
Had a few in the past and enjoyed every one
Sorry you pose no challange
perhaps if i had a standard sport it may be more fun
But again no probably not

HI craig
you say your car is standard, well lets put the standard air filter back on and refit your exhaust with cats then you will see a big diffrence , bet your car will feal really slow, how do i know you ask ,well i did same to my scoob and thought there wasnt really much difference in performance but it wasnt untill i sold car and had to put exhaust and filter back on ,i then realised how much slower it was, it really struggled to rev with cats on ,so i would not say your car is standard because you have done the 2 biggest things a scoob needs for more performance, i now own a ctr its quicker in some parts of the revs than a standard scoob ,but scoob quicker in others ,so lets talk about the 2 cars straight out show room well civic would win in dry but scoob would **** all over ctr in rain ,well thats my opinion anyway haveing owned both cars when they are both standard,not decatted etc
shocker
ps amanda jane what do you meen ctrs wont play about here , seen plenty of ctrs flying round about falkirk and surrounding areas and i meean realy flying like 2 feet of deck ,while most scoob drivers are busying poseing at the young schoolies,there windows down and making the exhaust burble .

Then why is the classic shape scooby quoted 0-100 at 14.5 but the CTR at 16.something 
I love the CTR and have driven one but I still think a classic scooby is a little quicker.
