Well I should be up for a trash in August...

Scoobs will probably beat my high 13 seconds to 100 mph but who
cares as long as its a laugh

I'll be laughing anyway doing 350 miles on sub 15 quid of gas....

hopefully by the end of this month the scooby and evo lists will be finalised and on the website. the drag runs will be longer than 1/4 mile so that 2wd cars are given a chance to get going!
saying that one of our MAESTRO turbos will do the 1/4 in 12.4s at 117mph! ;-)
if the 200sx lads /lasses want to drop me a mail they can, i emailed keith again without reply so far.

Well guys, I own a lightly modded 200 and have played with several Scoobies, and it has gone in my favour several times, and against me once...

0-60 I have no doubts about the quicker car, a friend of mine has a 270 BHP SX and it "only" manages 5.3 or so to 60.

60+ and it's a lot more even, with very little in it.

90+ And I start to walk away, SX's don't have the same transmission loss of Scoobies and the car (well the S13 anyhow) is light and aero dynamic.

Don't get me wrong, around the twisties most Scoobies will kick my ****, but on nice big A roads, motorways and some racetracks you'd better be aware of us, cos we are sure as hell looking out for you guys (grin).

BTW, the time I lost was to some monster on the A120 near Clacton, he changed down and spat flames, someone had lavished a bit of love on it for sure

"I think a Scoob WRX turned up at the 200 Top speed day, not sure about it 1/4 mile times, but top speed wise (after a 1.5 mile run from standing start) the Scooby was a good few mph off the 200's "

Is this the one that had to be towed back down the runway

Not slamming scoobys though... quick cars and easy to drive quick also.

Onl gripe, is that you guys get more coverage in Banzai.

Unhappy

who gives a monkeys left ********. The 200sx is a god forsaken pile of poo. I have a fireblade which will go to 100 AND stop by the time either car has got far. Please close this thread as it looks to be getting a tad monotonous .......

Scoob99.

I dont think you`ve read a word of the above thread.Everyone has already said the Scoob is quicker off the mark ( 4x4 ),and that the 200sx is a very fun and enjoyable car.Oh, and my Evo6 is faster than your scoob 0-60 in standard form, but does it matter??

oh, tnt, i didnt notice your little post sat there.Since when has a car thread had anything to do with bikes?? Obviously the Blade will beat the car, hands down on any road apart a very twisty one!

oh, i bought a blade new in 1998 and i`ve just sold my 2001 Ducati 996s(in prep. for the new 998) so yes, i do know what i`m talking about!

Why do these people sit on their high horses?? At the end of the day theres always someone with something better than you have(as i`ve proved), but does it matter?? Enjoy what you have, don`t try to put other people down because they own something that isn`t to your taste.My m8 drives a Saxo VTR, i dont like them at all, but each to their own, and i`d never slag his car off, because i know how much pleasure he gets from it.I think you guys need to grow up.
