Forgot to say - fastest 0-60 car I have is my Caterham 0-60 in 3.6sec. The vette tops out around 185mph.

yep been thee done that great car about as pactical as a chocolate fire guard. Only thing I miss it was the sound if I shut my eyes I can still hear it. My sti 9 is real world a lot quicker and I can get 5 people in it. The girlfriend on the otherhand hates the scoob but loved the Porsche but shes more interseted what other people think, Im passed that now and love the scoob more and more each time I drive it

Up to 90 definatly and with me driving I am a night and day quicker in the scoob down my local twisties tha in the 911 a good driver maybe quicker but I cant see there would be much in it. The other thing is that on private roads when your doing anything over 120 the 911 got a bit uneasy and didnt feel stable (If I got another I would have the aero kit for sure) where as with the scoob and 10 mins of ownership I was cruising at 150 and felt secure and planted on the private test road have access to even the missus has had the scoob at over 140 
even the missus has had the scoob at over 140

I hope they make the skyline with the 25bhp leccy motors on each wheel. Imagine what those clever engineers could do with those to play with

My 1st car was a 1.2 nova, then a phase 1 R5 turbo but running 22psi on a standard turbo just doesnt work, then a Series 2, then a 4x4 cossie on greens (melted a piston), then a E36 325i (too boring) now a black classic on 19'' RSGT's! VERY HAPPY

3 x mk 2 escorts rs 2000 (red , black, midnight blue)
1 x rs turbo custom ( c plate, mint car )
1 x xr2( 2 weeks, far too slow)
1 x xr2 turbo
1 x daihatsu charade turbo GTTI( first jap car)
1 x nissan sunny GTIR
1 x peugeot 106 1.5 diesel( i had to sell the sunny to purchase house after getting married)
1 x peugeot 106 gti ( purchased new)
1 x renault clio 172 ( purchased new)
1 x MY 99 wagon PPP, PDP, quick shift, PIAA's
i must say that the scooby is the best handling car i have had, but is very close to the sunny, but no-where near the mk 2 escort for sheer fun, but then again i am much more older now than i was when i owned the mk 2's and i dont know if i could be ar$ed with the constant breaking down now.

p.s forgive the bad spelling as i am pi$$Ed

My last car was an M.G. Maestro 2.0 EFI, great little motor only got rid cos she was rusting so bad, If money was no object it would have to be Aston Martin Vanquish or DB9.

02 Mondeo ST220 - Good, quick and just too refined for it's own good! Drank petrol and ate front tyres in 6K, but what the hell. Let down by very poor Ford customer service in the end.
Traded for an MY02 STI UK and loving every minute of it.
