In last months (I think) there was an impreza that ran a 3.8 0-60. Does anyone know what power this car is running? And has anyone seen any faster? Probably less power than these cosworth boys keep banging on about

 

Must've been Craig Hardmans very cool grey STi...silly boost, uprated VF22, rods, pistons...most certainly had the fuelling bit sorted as well, fmic nad all the usual stuff.

Not to mention fugly quad lights.

I dont think the boost was all that silly, he says its not turned up yet!!!!

 

Yeah that's the one. Can't believe how fast cars can get to 60 these days? Can you hit that speed in 2nd? or would that require 3rd? I don't own an impreza unfortunatley so I don't know, I have an integrale with a blown up engine! (damn cambelts!!!!)

 

The euro spec tranny hits 100 kph (62 mph) just a smidge before 7000 rpm...I believe some of the STi:s can do 60 on 2:nd gear.

My import WRX generally hits the rev limiter around 55!!!

 

thats well impressive though. Is traction a problem on these cars off the line? seen Martin Hadlands 540 bhp escort cossie get lanched at 7000 rpm (loon!!!) and it just spun all 4 tyres like a loon and shot off to a 0-60 of just under 4 seconds.

 

u don't happen to own a red 'grale? Used to see it a lot around Marlow...

 

thats the one. blew up in june when the cambelt jumped a couple of teeth on my way home from getting it chipped. Barsteward!!!

 

I'm not surprised - I've seen the way you drive!

 

whats that got do with cambelts jumping on a dual carriage way at 75 mph in 5th?
