Impressive times Co55ie. I love Cossies too - fab engines.

Scoobies can be quick - a certain one on here with less than £1000 spend beats your 1/4 mile times. Funnily enough an ex-Cossie owner who likes to prove people wrong when thay say you can't get good power out of a Scooby cheaply. I think he also beat a claimed 512 BHP Escort Cossie, but some of that may be traction and driver ability rather than a demonstration of raw power.

How do you feel about the chassis/handling of a Porsche, Evo or Scooby against a Cossie? Some would place them in that order in terms of decreasing ability.

Cossie,

1. Just as you have modified your "Cossie", others have mod'd 911 Turbos with over 650bhp. Maybe if you said that MOST STANDARD PORSCHES aren't as fast in a STRAIGHT line, you'd start to make a bit of sense. You're hardly comparing like with like. Then again, most proper drivers are more interested in the handling than talking big numbers down the pub. ;)

2. P1's didn't cost £50k - try £30k.

3. The RS500 is the collectable model out of the bunch. You can pick up a normal Dagenham Dustbin ;), erm, "Cossie" for £5k.

4. Strange with your huge knowledge of cars that you weren't aware of 500bhp plus Evo's out there.


Back to the pub bro'. :p

Hey Co55ie

I used to race a modified sierra cosworth at knockhill, the car was the quickest in it's class (lot's of other pro built cossies) and guess what......... my scoob just lapped that same track 0.5 seconds quicker that my cossie's lap record........and I bet its engine mods were FAR cheaper than your GGR motor :)

0-60 3.89 0-100 9.1 1/4m 11.85 ...................... Next !!

Andy, you can bet that's one story that Cossie ain't gonna repeat to his mates down the pub. :D

Oh, Andy popped up just on cue ;)

:D :D

wipped the floor with a wide bodied 911 in 2.1 mk1 rs2000 some years a go and it wasn't a rally car just 126 bhp at the wheels , rocket gearbox and billys all round bet i made him take it in to his dealers for service/ check up :D

Agreed with andy the subarus chassis is more advanced but you still cant knock a car that cost 13 grand is absolutely mint mechanically all new and has this sort of performance.
Obviously my car could not match a 1000 +bhp skyline. but in standard road trim very few cars including supercars ferraris porsches etc can live with it and are as practical. And as proved time and time again a 400 brake cossie will match a 700 brake skyline down the strip.

Are we going to go into the new age WRX in the states that does a 1/4 mile time in 10ish secs?
I thing that quicker than your cossie then cosie? :p:D
oh and its got 650bhp at the fly..... :p

Tony:D

New this would be a popular thread, just wondering why co55ie is on a scooby site??? Maybe he tells his mates every time he makes a post on scoobynet thinking that they will think he is cooool. I think he's a scooby wannabe really lol!
Andy.F - any chance of getting to know your CHEAP engine mods?

Steve.

Co55ie,

there are one or two Scoobs around that have timed 12.2 quarters, or less - so since you say Scoobies are slow - then so are you. Indeed at Elvington the best Scoob was 13.45, 13th overall - without trying to hard as he was running it in :eek:

I would love to see you have a GT2 go backwards in your mirror - in fact it has even more juice than you do ;):p

Trout :D

About time andy waded in :D

For your information Cossie, if andy sold his car I'm fairly confident it would be for a lot less than £13k and its faster than yours and having been in it/seen it, I'd say its probably a lot nicer looking too. Think before you slag scoobs!

Mmm, now, a Subaru Impreza.... WRC lookalike

or,.... a Ford Sierra...... jelly mould lookalike :D :D

Just can't decide :D :D

Its seems strange that no Porsche drivers have joined in this riveting discussion, could it be that they are to busy in the city making mega money before jumping in the Porker and going home to make love to beautiful ladies, bringing with them fine wines and Belgian chocolates ?

Even the TT owners cant be arsed arguing any more.

I didn't even know he was asking about Porsche's. I thought he said Porshes....;). What a knob, anyway I'm off home now to see my 2 beautiful ladies.

sorry I was stuffing my face with beautiful women and belgian chocolates.

:D

Yup, toasted a Carrera on M27 one day to find out my front lip had come off blowing him away. P1 > Carrera it seems!

Yep. And lost. So?

It's all good fun as I go home, there's a nice little porshe garage, then they test drive, them then get wasted by my old 93 WRX.
He he love it.

Really dont like the Boxster at all, even the S.

Bad image, driven mostly by arrogant twats in my experience, and they arnt that fast anyway!, I would never have one, they arnt anything special at all!. For that money I would have a 2yr old RS4!!

Now the 996 I like!!

i have just changed my Porsche 924 Ltd Edtn for a 93MY WRX

Scoob is MUCH quicker and can handle much better

then again........ my Porsche was 16yrs old!

Hehehehehe! Still not bad for a 21 yr old student!

Ahhh, the Porsche 924........

Good move to the WRX!!! :D

Clint,
Do you impress them with your spelling abilities too ;)

Camk,
I was going say that Clint might not have English as his first language so go easy. But he is from Herts.

Clint any chance of repeating your message, I couldnt understand it.

only just seen this thread or would have joined in earlier :)

i now have a 996 C4, last 3 cars : e46m3, porsche 993c4s , scooby wrx

to be honest any one of these cars in the right hands could beat any of the others, they all have different attributes that have impressed / depressed me. The 996 feels a little bit slow on take off compared to the others, but once you get higher in the rev range the pulling power is just unbelievable.
In a straight line there wouldnt be an awful lot in it possibly the m3 slightly quicker than the others, round the twisties it would entirely depend on driver, but the porsche definitely gives a bit more communication/feedback than the others, which only encourages you to go a bit faster still ;)

saxo boy you are a muppet you have never even been in a cossie.
In the cars present state 440bhp and 400lb/ft with boost from 2800rpm the flexibilty of the engine is awesome. I would still leave your own tinpot hairdryer for dead if I pulled away in second gear.
I have dragged with a modded P1 and left it for dead in second and I mean left it for dead not inched passed and numerous evo's including a mk7 without going passed 4500rpm in any gear sorry you mate you are spouting ****.
And if the Porsche drivers can only get a decent looking bird by driving a porsche then they must be even sadder than their cars.
It seems you lot are all wannabe BMW and Volvo road captains get a life get some power 280 bhp lawnmower power is not exciting or clever. Have fun with you happy shopper magnex decat pipes and budget engine mods. and if I ran this site I would get rid of the dyno section as its a little embarresing to say the least.
Why do Power engineering tune cars that can't produce any? I am reliably informed that many of the so called specialists humour you lot. You have the worst of the 2 litre turbo cars on the market and you know it.

If you ran this site nobody would post. Dick.

Cossie, If you don't like it then go and join the forum on www.scabbyfordwannabe.com.

You shouldn't even be on here. Give up and go. Nobody's ever gonna take you serious as long as you are spouting cr*p and driving that shed.

TOM M its you who is the dick not me.
Your only jealous.
Scooby owners are a complete joke wannabe IT rep mobiles driven by knobs with no qualifications who think they are the dogs danglies.
You lot are seen as somewhat as a joke by most other communities on the net as are your cars.
