Just been looking at the almost 400 bhp/T westys, heheheh CANT WAIT ;)
How would a megablade fair against a scoob? looking at these figures pretty well up to 100 i should think?

chrisp 03 May 2002 04:58 PM

Scoob V westiemegabladebussa thingy :D

Dry conditions scoob no chance

Wet Conditions :rolleyes:

Owned a 200bhp westie - made subarus look like buses on a track.

Great fun. Ran out of steam at 110 or so - but too scared by then anyway.

A well driven wendy house would have had me in the wet though. Was a nightmare.

PopeyeP1 03 May 2002 06:19 PM

Think my Sport has around 190.

catflap 03 May 2002 06:37 PM

190 is that bhp? thats pretty good :)

But we aretalking per tone ;) a westy onlyneeds like 130 bhp to get such figures.

Hay theres an easy answe, DONT TAKE IT TO THE TRACK IN THE WET LOL

They do look fun

polarbearit 03 May 2002 06:37 PM

I think my hoover has about 800bhp/ton - Chuffing Vortex System :D

catflap 03 May 2002 06:38 PM

hahahahah it problay aint far off if yo udid the maths LOL

chrisp 03 May 2002 08:10 PM

my hoover is under contents insurance ;)

Catflap,

I had a mildly modded Scoob :D and it was fairly quick. 9.5 0-100 or better......

Westfield Megabusa does 8.5 0-100, magazine tested - so not massivley different - and above 120 it would problably be slower than my Scoob - but on track it will hammer a Scoob - in the dry of course. In the wet a Scoob will hammer the Westie, but you will be having a serious amount of fun in it :D

Scoob is basically sold and I've got a Westie with Hippy - chalk and cheese - heavy, 4wd, driver flattering, well balanced saloon and 440kg, lightweight, mid engined car. Fun factor is massive and runnig costs are ridiculous coapred to a Scoob.......

But.....

The BHP/ton malarky........

Friend had a Megablade Westie - rated at around 325hp/ton.

My Scoob had around 260 hp.ton (proper hp not Shetlanad pony southern RR hp ;))

Rolling in a straightline I would hammer him. And I mean hammer him. At donington, he absolutely took me to pieces round the bends - but I still had enough to be able to catch and pass him down the straights (fvck cubic capacity, there ain't no substitute for boost :D)

But a Megabusa is a differnet animal - 50hp in one of them equals 100hp per ton (inc driver) extra. That's like having 140hp more in a Scoob. ie a lot. :D

But remember they do have brick like aerodynamics, and whilst a Megabusa would more than likely be a fair bit quicker than JohnFs 330hp Cossie Westie 0-60, from 60-100 Johns would be by far the quicker, even though his power to weight is not much more.

So the solution is to get a Megabusa, with a 1.4 turbo giving 380hp and NOS in case of something quicker being around ;)
