Remeber guys Ive got an RA that weighs next to nothing with an extremely close ratio box. It was not a problem to take him. Scoobys probably have better power to weight. I have a friend that does hill climbs with a 140 bhp mini that weighs not a lot and he can beat me hands down to a ton on private roads every time

 

Having read all of the posts it would appear that people seem to be thinking I raced a 911 turbo. It was a Carrera

 

Dave,

Confusion over the original post maybe

A 911 has to be one of THE ultimate toys and I am sure that almost any car enthusiast would die for one...

 

Good story mate

A lot of scooby drivers seem to forget that the 911 Turbo will do the 0 - 60 strech in about 4 seconds in standard form!!!!

Very few heavily modded scoobies can achieve this with a lightened flywheel, clutch etc

The 0-60 time for a standard MY00 is 5.4 and WRX 6.0 and WRX STI 4.8 there is no comparison

(flame suit on )

Trigger,

I said some owners on this site, you have no idea who or which cars I am referring to.

I will agree with you in the case of the average 340ish bhp car of which there arent many.

But surely with 10,000 members there is the odd 400+ lurking around.

eg. hyperex, 500bhp, at 360bhp craig was doing 9.5 second 0-100s. that is 80bhp up on standard yielding a 3 second increase. dont you think adding another 140bhp is going to have another substantial effect?

I would expect hyperex's car to break 8secs to 100.

even with a 400bhp impreza v 400bhp 911, I know which I would go with! (up to 100ish then scoob can forget it due to aerodynamics)
