Not sure if it's the world's fastest scooby but 210 mph seems quick enough:)

That is rather good, around the same figure as a tuned A4 diesel :thumb:

210.2 giving it the edge over the A4 ;)

Andy, will those few mods defo make your car brake the 9 second barrier this year even though last year im sure it would of on numerous occasions had it not been for the unfortunate faliures. :thumb:

Worlds fastest A4 does 216mph with its twin turbo 3.0 V6 diesel unit producing 650hp. 0-62 in 3.4 secs.

Did your impreza run out of steam or track when it did over 210mph?

:Whatever_

what im trying to get at is that his impreza is most likely faster.

This is a Subaru thread for Subarus, not an Audi comparison thread, now fleck off and go play with your Scalextrix.

Not convinced that was your intention !

mr lover, i believe this is yours...

think it was achieved over a mile,could be wrong though

Mine probably....

I believe it was the long runway at Elvington so nearer a mile and a half.

It ran out of track 28 seconds into the run from a standing start ! It was still accelerating at 1mph per second from the datalog.

Andy

wherever it was and however far it was over foook me its still a bloody impressive top speed :eek2: ,





Dave

Awesome Andy!!:thumb:

So I reckon if you took the car to somewhere like nardo, and specifically set the car up for a max speed run you would beat the diesel audi as it did its time at nardo specifically set up for the challenge.

Awesome Impreza :notworthy

Worthy of an audi badge :p :D

Ok, so we normally talk about 0-100 times or quarter miles, but 28 seconds as a 0-210mph time is pretty impressive !

So is the "slower" second 100mph purely down to wind resistance on the "sleek" impreza bodyshell ?

Whats the car geared to do Andy??


Cheers,

Mr Forrest how many seconds did it take for you to get to 125mph on that run?

Considering you can do 9 sec 1/4 miles with 150+mph terminals I'm thinking how close it would be if you were up against a Bugatti Veyron!!!!

The power required sustain a given speed goes up with the cube of speed. So the aero load at 200mph is 8 times greater than at 100mph.

Paul

IIRC last year my best 1/8th mile at Santa pod was 5.8@126mph and 9.1@160mph 1/4 mile.

Andy

That answers the question, Andy Forrests car will totally blitz a Buggati Veyron. :notworthy

My wife Barbara has threatened to phone up Top-gear and tell them her 'man' has an old scoobie that he built in his shed that would waste a Veyron :D
A- they wouldn't believe her and B - would you let clarkson drive your car :eek:

A - Try it anyhow B - No.:lol1:


Offer to race the Stig with him driving the Veyron ;)

Not Clarkson, no, but what about the stig, would be nice to see what it would be like around the top gear track.;)

I don’t think they would ever have you on but if they did, what a legend that would make you…….

do they do track days at the top gear track would be very interesting to see your lap time for that 1

In comparison for time to 125mph

Bugatti Veyron - 7.3 secs - 1000bhp - £900k
Ferrari Enzo - 9.5 secs - 650bhp - £450k
Pagani Zonda - 10.0 secs - 555bhp - £350k
Porsche Carrera GT - 9.9 secs - 604bhp - £323k

AFP Scooby doo - 5.8 secs - ~800bhp - Priceless but built in a shed.

:D

I reckon Barbara should defo give TG and JC and call. You don't have to let them drive...just get them to give you the white suit and helmet of Stiggy!

Let JC drive the Veyron and show him a clean pair of heels!

If Simon Norris can get on C4 in his Evo, you deserve to surpass that by going on TG!

Lets start a petition.

here here.:luxhello:

Why would they not try his car out if they were to see footage of it.:norty:
