OK folks time to own up.
My slightly modified 99 Impreza was matched, ney slightly beaten by a P reg M3 last night.
Nothing to be embarassed about I'm sure, but what are the performance stats for these indicator free German coupes?
Anyone out there with the figures (BHP, 0-60, 0-100,) etc it would be great to know what I was playing with...
Nice

P,
They have 321bhp and no 4wd transmission losses. I'd expect an STI to stay close,. but a standard UK turbo/wrx wouldn't stand a chance. I seem to recall 0-60 in about 5.5 and 0-100 in 12 and a bit? Not 100% though.

My best mate has one. I was in my sti and got a 13.6 quarter mile time, even when his best in his '98 M3 Evo was 14.1. I think it says it all. Great cars mind you have driven it on a number of occasions.
Just my 2p worth

The non-Evo is slightly slower - 5.9s to 60 sounds about right for that model.
The Evo is certainly around 5.4 - 5.5s.
coulty, i think yer mate needs some practice in his gear changes or maybe he's running an SMG
http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_cars.htm - this is a good site for those who are interested in cars specs and their quarter mile times.
Enjoy

Cheers for the replies guys and merry xmas.
The M3 was behind me off 3 roundabouts down the A570 - each time I throttled it it just stuck to my back bumper - couldnt shift it.
When I finally get the chance to pull over it eased past me to show the M3 badge - so we didnt really get to race side by side (not that I would ever race its illegal)!!
Anyway my 99 just has straight through magnex, bleed valve thingy and new sporty springs (not much use in a straight race)...
Right - off to open the bucks fizz now and eat some mince pies - now where did I put Cheryl Baker?
