Isn't that car a Datsun 200zx or what ever...

 

Stage 1.
I have given this long and hard consideration and have arrived at the following conclusion.

You are full of ****

 

lol

 

real bhp?

wow. the scooby lads are likely to be scared.

Nah

It's an American car..

They don't know how to calculate HP



Richard

 

So that's why the US WRX has 227 BHP then? I saw an advert whilst in Boulder, CO last week that confused me...

...Mind you, I saw a lot of things that confused me. Like Twinkies - why???

 

rich,

regardless of what figures they may come up with, any car that just lights up both rear wheels and PAINTS two black lines has good bhp. especially with wide wheels like that.



rw

 

Sorry

But that one is really true The Yankie WRX really is 227 bhp *whoops* and has a different torque map as well..

Check

 

What scares me in that video is the way it kicks sideways when he's changing up

Damn nearly ends up in the other lane

Richard

 

Your having a laugh.......the only HP the yanks know is......the Sauce..

 

Hp Sauce Mmmmmm I use to dream of that

Very few places around here that you can buy that..

Richard

 

Blowdog.... Incomming!!!!!

 

That bloke needs to learn how to handle the car before he kills someone. He's almost into the oncoming traffic when lighting up the rears on a straight, and his donuts aren't quite up to the standards of Simon de Sideways. He's not even close. And Sideways is having to deal with four driven wheels, not two, in the canonical reference of Donuts in the 22B.

I hope Rich knew about that

I'm by no means a wonderful controller of a car, but there again my car doesn't try to dump me into another lane when I put my foot down.

On this subject, Tiff didn't appear quite as ragged on last week's topgear when driving the new Evo and Scoob. They must be flattering.

 

& The wider the wheel the EASIER it is to 'light em up'

"That bloke needs to learn how to handle the car before he kills someone."

yawn typical preach.

"He's almost into the oncoming traffic when lighting up the rears on a straight"

whatever

and his donuts aren't quite up to the standards of Simon de Sideways. He's not even close.

oh well, ill find anyone with the mpg and tell them to delete it

And Sideways is having to deal with four driven wheels, not two, in the canonical reference of Donuts in the 22B."

yeah im sure thats what sideways is. I have seen the 22b donoughts, very good.

The chap on this mpg does a good job of controlling his car, he is obviously show boating. but anyhows lets just decide its dangerous and not as good as a scooby.

mmm...

Sorry, it did come across as a preach. Wasn't meant to, believe it or not.

Still think he needs to learn how to use his car though. I'm not saying I'd be any better, but I'd make sure I did a better job before I published a video.

When I said "sideways", I meant Mr de Banke, not the technique.

Each to their own. I wouldn't get in a car with him. Wouldn't mind a go in the car on an airfield though, as it does look both fun and a challenge.

Looking at the filename, it isn't that bloke (not) from Popstars is it?

Best,

Nick.

 

...and back to one of your posts, I agree. Anything with that amount of power can't be all bad. And he smokes in front of a BMW, so he's gone up in my estimation

Nick.

 

nick, i withdraw my comments,

the guy is obviously just having a laugh for an mpg

it does have good power from what u can see and looks like it would be a right laugh to have a shot of, as u said on an airfield first!

rw

 

Mmmmmmmmm !!!!

Is a scooby bonnet and gear box going to fit a motor like that, it could be fun !!!!!!

Nice car and very well prepared, anyone got BHP figers on it or knows were to get them ?

Darren.

 

It's got an LT1 small-block Chevy (as in a Corvette), supercharged and stroked to 383ci/6.3l (I think) and it's got a six-speed Borg-Warner manual (as used in the Corvette). Supposedly has 600bhp. Looks like fun - there's also an mpeg of it racing the owner's R1 - see the "Darius" movies page at

 

Thing is most scoob owners couldn't handle 2wd....
