only asking as a guy i know is organising a jap drag day and scoobs ain't quick enough to qualify

not entirely surprising as scoobs aren't exactly drag cars, but what's the fastest recorded?

 

think Harvey gets that accolade..

Depends if you mean in the UK or worldwide.

Tony rigoli performace have built the worlds quickest 1/4 mile scoobs:

8, 9 and 10 second scoobs

 

hehe touche' sir

 

I think Andy F still holds it with 11.66.

Mark.

 

I stand corrected

 

I always new Wagons were quicker

That's a serious piece of kit....

lmao - I'd be proud of a wheeile like that on my bike.

 

Just looked at the TRP site, but what is that top mount when it also has a front mount ?

Oil cooler ?

Anyone know ?

 

It's the rad'. There isn't enough room at the front, with the turbo positioned as it is.

They can get away with the small top mount rad', because it's purely used as a drag car.

Mark.

 

blimey that ain't bad

 

i'm sure there was a scoob at japshow (october2003) that ran in the 10's? or was that my imagination? low 11s atleast

Scoobydoo69

 

actually maybe not, just watching the videos it seemed to get 12.2 lol
sorry

ScoobyDoo69

 

ScoobyDoo69 - is that the CRD car?

Should be some interesting scoobs this year, hopefully someone will break the 10second barrier!

 

LOL; I saw a Beetle make the first UK sub 10sec qtr (for a Beetle)about 14 years ago! Thought these scoobs were quick...... runs for cover

 

aperntly its custom to fit a scoob engine into a beetle?

my mates currently building one

 

I don't mean to disrespect Harveys car but with 585 bhp shouldn't it be faster than that? I know it's a daily driver so is it the weight that slows it down? I'd have expected high 10's with that power and weight

 

the 11.74s harvey did was when he was 'only' running 450bhp ish i think.

 

I can do a 1/4 mile in about 6.5 in my scoob.
Sorry i suppose you mean from a standing start. LOL

 

Ah that sounds more like it

 

don't think norris designs monster evo breaks into 10's and that's got over 700 bhp (i think anyway, could be wrong on both comments there knowing me

 

i saw Norris Evo run 10 something at last years Redline Rumlble

 

DOH!!!! just as i thought, i fcuked up again

great time though

 

Part of the problem in ramming home the advantage of power might be a synchro gearbox, you can easily spend 1.5-2 seconds on gearchanges off the power on a quarter.
