I borrowed a work colleague's Race Tech unit the other day. Having read the manual and configured it as close to perfect as possible, I decided to take the car to a nice stretch of road for a little test or two.

I've got a _standard_ Jap MY95 WRX saloon, with just under half a tank of Esso SUL present during the tests.

0-60 came in 5.2 seconds
Max BHP output was 257 at 59.1mph

I just wondered if anyone else is getting such good figures? If I'm getting these on a standard car, what are you guys and gals getting!?

PS:- Race Tech info can be found at

Does this mean my 276bhp JDM STi-7 (now about 300 bhp with full SS turbo back exhuast) will do 0 - 60 in about 4.5 ? Obviously assuming hard dropped clutch start

Cheers,
Ray

 

Hi!!! Anyone care to divulge their average 0-60 and dyno'd BHP outputs for thier Jap MY95 WRX (or any Scooby for that matter!)

Thanks......

 

sounds good, i would like to hear these as well

Ray

 

uk my98 wagon 0-60 4.5secs bhp ? some mods

 

Is it not so that a ferrari F40 takes 4.7 secs to do 0-60 making these scoobys very very quick cars

 

Ferrari F40 is 3.7 according to EVO mag. And that will be limited by traction a lot more than the scoobys. Once above 30 or 40 it will have a bigger advantage (IIRC 0-125 in 12 secs). 480BHP - 1100Kgs. You'd need 500BHP+ in a scoob to beat that

However, can't dispute that 0-60 in 4.5 seconds is still very quick.

Edit - Had put the Ferrari at 110kgs. That really would be impressive

JUST WATCH THE CLUTCH LOL

 

I can tell you now, there is no f**king way anybody is doing 0-60 tests in my car, after I have just spent nearly £1k on the clutch!

 

paulflowe,

Your figures look like some I have seen published in a magazine... (0-60 5 secs for WRX) and you cars PS output should be 260, which I think equates to about 256 BHP. Seems like the on paper figures are quite accurate.

Never timed mine, but I'd swear blind it can reach 60 in less than 5 secs, although it has some reasonable performance mods.

The PPP'd classic was tested to 4.9 secs to 60mph by autocar?
i dont know if they were running super or not though but light fuel load etc and one person, santa pod raceway back in 98?

Tony

 

And 63 runs to get it.
300bhp should see mid to high 4secs to 60.

 

jap performance car mag had a spec table for standard scoobs the fastest was my version wrx sti type r quoted at 4.3 sec my car is quick but i think i would be hard pushed to get that kind of time plus got to have money on stand-by for new cluch

 

An RA has the same box as an R but is quite a few kgs lighter, the fastest acelerating "standard" scoob is an RA .

 

Modified 95 Ra > 3.89 sec to 60mph 9.1 to 100mph , showing 290 bhp at wheels on AP22. 349bhp / 343 torque @ flywheel on rolling road.

 

andy, NICE

 

My 94 wrx 260bhp model was rolling roaded at 265bhp and 260lft with an induction kit and a decated exhaust. In the Banzai magazine test it achieved a 0-60 time of 4.88 secs and needed changing into third at about 54mph to get to 60. I believe this is about as quick as you could get with this power / model Impreza. I have since carried out a few more mods so it is hopefully more powerful and quicker.

Andy a few more mods and I will be chasing you ( in my dreams ).

Colin.

 

at this moment of good weather i am quite enjoing my air con'ed typr r THANKS.also that it is a 2door scoob (class!)

 

all said and done these scoobs are all top motors

 

yep glad my RA is a V-Ltd so it has aircon . I did look at a type R but wanted 4 doors

 

mmmm my car was originally fitted with air-con but I removed the lump of power sapping cr4p

LOOK at my profile, I'm from Scotland, it's air conditioned all year round
