PPP Wagon

Hi folk,

I yesterday came up against a volvo S60 R. He was drivin like a tosser n cut me up then sped off. i thought to myself i'll teach this guy a quick lesson but no no no!!! It was rapid. Im talkin Scooby rapid! Caught him @ some lights, where we had a quick nod & a laugh before goin again

there was basically nothin between us from 0-100+, i was astonished

The car was completely de-badged so i give it a quick serch when i got home to find out it was i S60 R. RAPID

I have a '99' Spec WRX 'PPP' import wagon.

P.S. obviously this was'nt only public roads

Yeah - 300bhp stock wont be slow. Chip and exhaust gives 360bhp and I doubt they are that lardy either.

Why do you think the coppers have them

a lot of powerful big saloons will stay with and in some cases pass a Subaru when rolling, a Scoob is about as aerodynamic as a housebrick.

My old Audi A6 2.8 was easily a match for my Scoob once up to a certain speed despite being heavier and less powerful - i put this down to aerodynamics.

I used to enjoy my crappy old M reg 850 T5 as unsuspecting people such as yourself would find out to their cost just how ferocious they can be The one you raced was probably a lowly T5 as the S60R's are rare and not that many are tuned relative to T5 owners.......

Driven the Rs and they are very rapid once rolling. Yes scoob quick.
Down a twisty A road - I would still take the scoob. It just feels a bit more focused and composed. Rs are more of a motorway weapon really.

Ive got one, well wife has it now, very quick, good on the corners for a big heavy car, scooby like thirst for petrol!, thats why I got the 535d save some money!

I was brought up in Volvo's. I had a S40 T4 before I got my first Subaru, and on many occasions shocked the odd boy racer who did not take into consideration how quick the Volvo was.

The S60 R on the other hand is a real weapon, and can now be had for reasonable money. If i was to change my P1 for something more comfort orrientated I would choose an R over any BMW or AUDI

It's as fast as a SUBARU! It must be MENTAL!!!!

You know Ed, if they really are Scooby fast i think we should get one....... one for each foot

No surprise to me - used to have a T4 running 1.3bar by way of a Blitz EBC - once rolling not alot would get close 30-120+. Certainly not your average scoob!
Mind you - I've owned 7 scoobs in a row sonce then so I guess I still prefer them but do miss the stealth and comfort ofthe old Vulva.
