i just bought a legacy gtb 260bhp auto,first scooby.i was expecting to be pinned to the seat when i put my foot down but not as much accelaration as i was expecting.
dose your car pin you back in the seat or is mine just not as fast as it should be?

Not really, the only car that I've ever been in that gave decent pinnage was Andy F's WRX RA - 0-100mph in 9 seconds. Even at that I was beginning to get used to it after 30 minutes.

Drive a 1.0 for a few weeks and then drive your car again and you should feel it better.

Mines gives a kick but for pinnage you need big power and savage acceleration.

I have an STi3 & you cant (as a passenger) lean forward when it's floored! & can give me mate a headache after 5 mins of wreckless driving! :-)

What sort of power do you have STI 3?? Apart from andy's RA every scooby I've been in I could have lent forward and made a cup of tea on the dashboard under full acceleration :D

I really dont know, I bought it 3 years old & the guy imported it from new, It has a box of electronics under the passenger floor well (it in japanese so dont know what it is) but it is not there on other imprezas I have looked at, but the thing flies!. I have done 165 in it b4 I got brown trousers (on a private road of course) & it revs to 8 1/2 so bloody quick it's unreal. I am gonna put it on a dyno soon, & I will find out & let you know!

other thing it does (cant in my mates sti4) is if you floor it in 1st & dump the clutch it spins all 4 wheels (smoking!) whey tooooo much power!

That box of electronics, I've got one under my passenger seat.
I put CDs in it!

sorry but isnt that box of electronics under the floorwell 'THE ECU' or is everybody sitting back and not sayin cause its so funny...
Rob :D

You had to go and spoil the larf!;)

lol
Rob :D

Noooo, I mean there was another box of eleccie bitz plugged into the ecu!, I hoped you wouldnt fink i was dat stupit! lol

i always feel more g-force as a passenger - ask someone to rip it while ur in the passenger seat...

but over time i must admit that is does start feeling sluggish...
