199.4 MPH and improving !
 
Today we had a Scoob v EVO shootout at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.

It proved one thing, Scoobs are faster and more reliable than EVO's :cool:

Or at least they certainly were today.

Now, where can I find that last 0.6 mph :D

O.M.F.G 199.4 MPH , when you look at the aero dynamics of an impreza its even more impressive.
slipery shaped lambo with 500 + bhp is only just as quick.
( sitting here gob smacked )

i think i read on here that the top mount intercooler can not get enough air via the bonnet scoop over 200mph

so you might need to fit a FMIC.....


:p

Andy.F 20 September 2005 09:12 AM

Thanks guys :)

With hindsight I think the answer may have just been to let the 11 stone passenger out ! (at the slow end ;) )

DannyBoy007 20 September 2005 09:12 AM

Blinding result, well done andy.

Are we going to see you at Jap show on the 9th of Oct??????

Enjoy!

Rannoch :D

PS I am sure the Evos would prefer it if we did not post their times ;)

Tim W 20 September 2005 10:55 AM

:cool:

Andy, to get the record you would need to make two passes, one in each direction and then take the mean speed of those two runs over a 1km stretch...at least that what they were doing at the Option Speed Trials...

ali_j 20 September 2005 11:06 AM

are these standard type r's/scoobs?

David_Wallis 20 September 2005 11:23 AM

Had it been me there would be claw marks in the dash not and dints in the footwell where my feet where!! :eek:

Awesome speed for a Scoob! :notworthy

David_Wallis 20 September 2005 12:44 PM

apparently paul wanted andy to brake as soon as possible due to subaru 2 pots being on the car!!!

Was a good day out.. could have been helped by bringing some beers.
