another Scooby scalp in a diesel
An STi couldn't pull away from me in forth for a bit,i was in a Mrk IV 2.0 GT TDi
Please can you all try a bit harder or I will get bored? Clearly my car looks better and if its faster too this would certainly be unnacceptable to me as an ex-Impreza owner.
this can't go on
M62 Wakefield to Hull,daily,its silver,try if you can,this commute is thoroughly boring counting the power stations one by one
watching Scooby owners faces getting mullered in a tiresome family car cheers me up
thanks

Like duh! Diesel with 200+lbft of torque at 2000rpm versus scoob with not a lot at 2000rpm. I'd expect the scoob to struggle. 
My turbo doesn't wake up untill almost 3000 rpm.

Insecure Scoob owners Matt? On here? Never! 
We better not mention a 535 or 335d which will hand a scoob it's *** on a plate.
Sad that a Scoob can't put up a good fight even against diesels nowadays.....

If you want to do a direct competition between the two then both cars should be in their respective powerbands.
BMW 535 TD It's a monster with more torque than the current M5. I would love one. Saw a Merc AMG CDi in action and that was quick. Autocar figured the 535D at 0-60 in 6 and 0-100 mph in 15 secs. Better than a 330 petrol.
Those are awesome figures in anyones book.

I have to admit to be mullered by a Toyota Yaris last night. What with my 300bhp plus Sti.
Stupid bitch pulled out of a 'T' junction straight into my rear drivers side door. Pipping my horn only made her realise I was there!
Anyway, back to the thread. If these diesels are so quick why are there not huggings of em' on track at trackdays?

Sith,
Rest assured that my comment was not aimed at anyone.
Monty,
My uncool choice of car suits me fine!
Spen555,
My car spends time on track at the Ring, which is IMHO the best place in the world to test the abilities of a car.

Same old story, somebody states they have slaughtered a Scooby (may well be true), 5 minutes later all the Scooby bashers arrive to join in.
You can get more fun out of threads like this just predicting who will be along

I can't believe how many of you have mis-read dba's original post.
It was clear to me he was being sarcastic and stated 'A BIT' as a clue. Hardly 'slaughtered' you guys look for things that aren't there
A LOT of insecurities and over-reactions going on, esp given that they've mis-interpreted the original post.

I'm glad all you diesel drivers are happy with your cars. But you feel like you need to justify it to us scooby owners? Why? If your car is obviously quicker then well done. I'm very happy for you.

A. Are you an accountant with a
B. A lorry driver or Farm hand that steals fuel from work
C. A Taxi Driver
D. Almost 'normal', but so insecure about your choice of car, you have to constantly compare it to something you could have had.
Not trying top stereotype you, but those ARE the ONLY options.
OK, C is a little extreme as I dont think VW make beaded seat covers. But they often have BMW indicator bulbs- That dont work!
No matter what else some saddo decides to post to make up some new ones - and they will
Anyway I overtook a 550 Ferrari and a Exige this morning!....
You have to assume they were really trying, but I was walking and they were at the traffic lights.
