honest answer, is.....

dont know, and dont know!

id guestimate the cars weight in "reduced trim" to be around 1320kg or so without driver. The turbo is a bit of a surprise, as i dont know exactly what the spec is.

Gearbox is stock though

it knackered 5th in a 5 speed mate, far to aggressive with the gear changes, following faster cars around is never a good idea

Not wanting to hi-jack the thread. But can any subaru owner enter the Scooby ShootOut?

I probably don't have the ability or mods to do too well on the handling circuit, and definately not the power to compete with the likes of AndyF* on the drag strip, but I wouldn't mind having a go.

Anyone with a Scooby is welcome to enter - it's just a load of fun. No need to be the fastest or be disappointed if you're not.

All you need to do is ensure that you improve on this years times next year

we positively encourage all cars from std to modded, there is a class for everyone to aim for with trophy/prizes.
soon as we finish off the last few details then we'll have all the info up and online entries will be taken as well as postal.

I competed for the first time at SSO 06 (never competed before in any form of driving competition) with a moderate modded car and came 14th in the handling circuit. Not as good in the drag (1 attempt) as Bob Rawle's car unfortunatley came off the runway in terrible weather conditions and the drag racing was cancelled.

Andy,

Same here, first time out and managed to get the fastest handling time of the day and finish 2nd in the shootout, not bad for a meagre 330bhp newage on standard suspension.....

So what i mean is, have a go and you might surprise yourself!!!

I went to the Elvington Shootout last year and enjoyed it with the exception of the weather.
Is it held there every year ?

it's been held there each year so far. Last years weather was appalling for the time of year so fingers crossed for this time around!

Good lad, have a go, you don't need big power or any fancy gadgets for the handling, just plant your foot and hang on. Works for me

Had a few (quite a lot) goes down the drag strip which was pretty scary braking in standing water with no ABS

I know someone fell off not nice
