If I was driving an impreza Id avoid most Renault 5 GT Turbos with fear of being shown up

 

Had fun down M1 from leeds to sheffield on sunday nite with mclaren slr. he tried undertaking me but i had enough oomph to shut the door. Wouldn't fancy a real race tho!
(if any one knows who it was tell them to get their headlights adjusted - cant beleive a car costing that much could have lights so out of alignmment already - still got arc eye now)

 

LOL, i will still rinse ya

 

Dont seem to see any anymore,

When I 1st had my old classic a few years ago, I pulled up at the lights next to a 5 Raider, I wasted him at the lights, but had to slow down at a speed camera, as soon as we both passed the camera, I floored it, only for the little 5 to stick to my rear bumper for a few miles.

 

Saw one a couple of weeks ago with the regestration 1 SLR, I thought it was a SLK in my rear view mirror until I pulled over and it flew past me.

 

Try this one, it's pretty accurate

Also avoid Gtirs, they are a hot hatch with 4wd

 

Theres plenty of R5s about just get kept in garages and used over the weekend, the interesting thing is though LOTS of them are all modified with mucho engine power and will easily waste a std Impreza.... YES in the twisties aswell

 

That web site is spot on cheers for that.

 

A standard WRX300 does 0-60 in 4.8 secs, yours for £19,000 at you local Subaru dealer (with a little discount).

Properly launched, 99% of cars can't touch it WITHIN THE LEGAL LIMIT.

That is good enough for me and the dreamers can keep on dreaming...

Source evo:
Cupra R 225 6.9, Astra VXR 6.7, Golf GTi 6.7, Alfa 147GTA 6.0, BMW 130i 5.9, Focus RS 5.9, Civic Type R 6.8, Cooper S Works 6.6, Clio 182 6.6, Clio V6 255 5.8, RX8 7.0, Nissan 350Z 6.1, Audi S4 5.4, BMW 330i 6.3, MG ZT 260 6.5, Octavia vRS 7.9... getting VERY bored now...

Just WHEN are the others (we're talking same price range) REALLY going to catch up?

Sweet dreams...

 

i met a vauxhall monaro vxr on the m5 a while ago in my 96 sti,pulled up beside him and he gave me a cheery wave as he fooked off into the distance. It maybe a vauxhall but i want one

 

Anything driven by someone with more of a point to prove than they value their and others lives eg:

on a recent trip to North Wales an Audi A8 Tdi quattro overtook a line of traffic 12+ cars on 'double whites' and there is no way he could see past 2 cars let alone all of them. Later on the same trip I caught the same car now travelling at normal speeds - he sees me in the mirror and is off again like a scalded cat! I continue at the same moderate pace, no way I am even going to get close to this danger man. He rounds the next blind corner on the wrong side of the road almost killing 52 OAPs (well 52ish I didn't quite have time to count) on a coach coming the other way. Unconcerned he then overtook an Audi TT I would describe as 'going for it' over the next blind crest. Totally scary stuff. And imagine his surprise when he saw me in front of him in traffic in the next town...speed is not everything a short cut is. The final time I saw him he raced up the wrong side of the road to go right at the roundabout - except he went all the way round to skip the traffic queue...what a driver what a man, BMW behaviour in an otherwise very nice Audi, shows that money does not equal sense. The same driver would have 'beaten' me if he was driving a 1.4 Nova.

Choose life & enjoy your car.

 

Dont mean to **** on anyones chips but if i was that worried about traffic light grand prix then i wouldnt be driving a standard wrx!i,d choose something with a bit more......oomphhh!

 

Don't see the early WRX-RA given much of a mention....

0-60 put mine against most motors.....

 

0-60 you'll have most 2wd cossies that are under 400bhp, on the roll. forget it.
I've just sold my cossie and in my 02 STi i think i'd be inclined to stay away from anythin thats cossie or evo powered.....

Just asking to be red faced if you ask me!

 

most cossies are only held together by rust ffs sakes this is a scooby forum ive never known another forum that dishes ther own cars so much

 

Think its because half the people here no longer own scoobys, but they do or have owned other cars to compare a scooby too and know that its not the be all and the end off. Great cars, just not as good as their legend proceeds them to be IMO

 

Take it you still own 1 then Dave?


Out of curiosity if you are a 5 owner or ex 5 owner did you and a mate show at Donny a few years back?Your mates car wasnt finished if it was you?

 

Such as??

 

**** that, i wouldnt stay away from a cossie or evo!!! unless i had a standard 215bhp new age wrx, id be confident to take a lot of stuff in the sti type r

 

One for the scoobys!!

 

...and another one - keep 'em coming guys!!

 

UP THE SCOOBYS!!!

 

That website has some inaccuracies. Forrester STi quicker in the1/4 than a type RA, nearly whoops a 22B

 

I still own a R5 JUST.... lol been off the road the last 2 years but got it running again but thinking of selling up Also got an RX7 now so who are you then? yes me and a mate showed at donny, he had the tunny grey 5 that was unfinished and I had the erm, cant remember what colour it was at the time red or it was the pink/gold flip

As usual, there is always one knobber with his trusty EVO mag beside him quoting figures from the back pages. If launched correctly my ****. We are talking about everyday driving instances not pub talk You have to consider certain situations such as: driver, weather, road condition, and frame of mind. Granted Scoobies are quick. Nobody is saying other wise. But if you care to read the whole thread, there are Skylines, Ferraris and Lambo's also mentioned in this thread. I see you haven't mentioned them on your little list. I bet you are one of the Chav's that sit at traffic lights "launching correctly" as you put it from traffic lights racing at every opportuity beating OAP's in there Rover 200's to make a point that you are driving a far superior car. Get a life you prat!!! I'd like to see you get away from a 350z, 330, S4, BM 130 and half the other cars from midrange. And if you are bored, then p1ss off!!!!!!

 

well KG386

I'de gladly offer my 93 WRX-Ra for a run against the Evo, upto the legal limit, guess it's in the 1% left

 

Good for you

 

Calm down. The Evo mag was borrowed. I never race from traffic lights or try to get away from anybody, least of all OAPs AND the Chav insult thing is SOOOO original I had better write it down before I forget it. I must be the only Chav brain surgeon...

 

I think my Chav comment was as original as your comment I highlighted earlier. I've seen you other thread how you don't appreciate folk moaning on about Scoobies, or they have beaten Scoobies. And in actual fact you have a very nice car. But I think you will find that the thread intimated what not to race, based on the fact that you drive a WRX, which is also a very quick car. But by no means the quickest! There is no need for yawns or bored comments.
