Transmission loss is against you. The vxr is savage in the right hands and if tuned is a very fast car.

In a straight line yes, hit the twisties though...........

I recently had a play with a new ferrari 458 italia in my 350bhp type-r limited, quickly wiped the smug expression off his face! I keep telling myself he was giving it death to keep up, in reality he was probably wetting himself at my feeble atempt of getting away, probably much like the barry boys we frown upon.

a 172 clio cup keeps with me to 120 in my sti im a man i can take it errrrm i misted a gear, the car started to back fire umm i wasnt playing :cry:

i will give him one thing it was Luke Schlewitz a race driver that is un real behind the wheel of his car so i dont feel so bad:cool:

musso2010 23 June 2011 04:54 PM

Its very rare i get involved in any traffic light gp's anymore. Its always amusing to initiate one though, take a casual look at the other driver, lights go green and he tears the ass out his car and leaves most his tyres on the road while i just pull away normally thinking what a cock! Lol.

My Mate had a nurberg astra VXR mapped to 320bhp I left that :D

burbling1 23 June 2011 06:22 PM

In my 280bhp wagon I have destroyed,
Class Xerion 380hp
Fendt 939 vario 390hp
Valtra 352 352hp
John Deere 7830 250hp
and a 1.7td Astra van.

Puff The Magic Wagon! 23 June 2011 06:25 PM

Various Skylines, Porches, Elises, Caterhams & all sorts on track :D

scoobyboy1 23 June 2011 06:35 PM

Kept up with a vanquish S in my brothers classic STi running 340bhp, then we hit over 110mph and the Vanquish kept going and the poor STi couldnt cope, Oil temps got high and didnt feel as safe as probably the Aston Martin did.

Lesson learned, dont matter how much power your scoobs/evo etc got, A 200mph supercar will always be faster at the top end and probably more reliable, dont get me wrong our cars are great accelerating cars, but makes me laugh when I read on here that a scoob has left a Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche standing!!!!

BIG FUD 23 June 2011 09:20 PM

On the way home from alan jeffries in my wr1 600bhp a new rs6 was lets say destroyed lol he then come past me with a face like wtf just happend me 65k car just got destroyed by a fat man in a old subaru i wdnt of been happy neither ....

jta 23 June 2011 09:23 PM

Took a munro vxr on from the lights which leads onto a round about (big enough the bike lads practice knee downs) then a tight left leading to a straight on the A194M i left him for dead acceleration app 4 cars ahead by the time we hit the straight 5 secs later he went past me like the starship enterprise i think the 600bhp came into play lol

Took a clio 225 cup on along the 5 roundabouts in washington kept waiting for him at next roundabout just to leave him again didnt realise it was a 225 cup untill he actually followed me home and pulled up at the end of my drive i thought it was going to end up in a fight lol but after several coffee's we are now friends lol

Big Pete 23 June 2011 09:31 PM

I don't get to go anywhere that this sort of thing happens unless I'm at work........... And Scoobyless :cry:

daz1968 23 June 2011 11:29 PM

Only cars that have tried against my twinscroll jdm have been low powered corsa's and similar that seem to think they have beaten me when I just let them go past normally driven by young women. Only serious contender I ever had was a focus st but i got to about sixty then backed off and waited till he overtook must of had to wait about 3 seconds before he caught up then let him pass as point already proved. I must say my racing days have been over for a long time as a long time ago I played with a sapphire cossie with my 3 door and realised that the speeds achieved when playing was far to much for safety so learnt my lesson can't be bothered anymore and will let any stupid driver beat me off the lights as if it makes them feel better thinking they beat a Scooby I would rather them think they beat me rather than take the risk of losing my license. But each to their own I know what my car can do and use it where appropriate maybe that's why us old gits pay less insurance

Leonboy 24 June 2011 12:10 AM

Terminator X 24 June 2011 04:26 PM

335d was just a speck in the distance ;)

TX.

matth76 24 June 2011 06:54 PM

But how many of the "other" cars are actually trying to race you, or going at 50% throttle?

Just like some of us scooby owners above have mentioned how they just drive normally and let other wannaby racedrivers blast past them, thinking they've "beaten a scooby", when in fact the scooby owner was just driving normally.

It makes me laugh the amount of cars that try it on with my scooby. I don't even bother.

snake1906 24 June 2011 07:13 PM

as some1 already mentioned i dont really get any1 try it on any1 that ever has has lost!! not being bigheaded but thats just the way it is.

Not sure what bhp these come with, my wrx is running 275bhp.

You serious a vxr quick. Your car is slower than you think as my classic with around 320bhp eats vxr's for breakfast and they are not that quick.

Totally agree. When I do floor mine, which I love to do (not racing just driving) on an open straight road, it does leave everything for dust as though everything else is standing still. Its like a warp drive lol with the wooosh of the turbo and then speed :D
