People who drive impreza are idiots
 
posted on vxronline

id save few more grand n buy an S3, i paid 12k for my vxr 3 year ago n its worth about 7 now. i would never buy impreza cus when the vxr goes past you ul put your head in your hands and every one who owns an impreza is a idiot. all down to personal preference.


Does he really think his standard astra vxr would ever keep up with standard STI, mmmmmm Nope

choice 2 cars for day at silverstone
standard astra vxr
standard sti

I wonder which one id pick mmmmm

Moley 21 January 2013 04:25 PM

Also, am i the only one to notice anything ironic about his spelling, and calling people idiots?

I think that really it's his mum doesn't want her car to be too loud and an astra was a compromise.

tubbytommy 21 January 2013 04:30 PM

its the usual impreza envy.

every saxo with an air filter is as fast as a scooby innit.

link? now as most of you know, im not the biggest fan of my impreza, but after having a play with a few VXR's (corsa's and astra's)in my old RS, i can safely say even the impreza could out run one haha

No, VXR's are about as quick as me on a push bike! and it was a fiesta ST ;) Fiesta RS would pull on most scoobies ;):thumb:

Have had the pleasure of driving the Astra VXR and been in a corsa VXR and although nippy compared a standard STI, theres no comparison the astra & corsa dont come close.

take a look at the performance figures the vxr astra is far faster than an st fiesta.

You sure about that? Looking at the stats the ST couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Bean1984 21 January 2013 04:53 PM

Hahaha what a plank.

thenewgalaxy 21 January 2013 04:55 PM

To be fair I was obliterated in my Hawkeye STi once by a VXR Corsa. In the wet.

I was making steady and sensible progress probably around the national speed limit along a bendy backroad when some absolute fookin' idiot came up my rear end with his lights badly adjusted.

Before I could slow down to let him by he flew past so recklessly on an unsighted bend it makes me wonder if he actually made it back home alive to tell his mates he'd rinsed a Scoob. I have seen a lot more Cooper S' and hot Vauxhalls driven like total tossers than I have any other marque of performance hatchbacks.

positive, show them both some twistys and the VXR will either understerr into a ditch, be miles behind or the gearbox will blow haha

If you're talking twisties..........:lol1:

Bean1984 21 January 2013 05:05 PM

Love the way how turbo2000 owners are all chavs. Mmmmmmmmm does tinted windows and an exhaust mean im a chav now?

kad 16v 21 January 2013 05:16 PM

Wouldn't even give a VXR the time of day, my last trip there was a tuned one running 450hp + and he was struggling to get a 13 second 1/4 mile. I dred to think what it does at a corner................... In fact I know what it does on a corner as I saw it at a track day, it did 4 laps until he worked out his coil over setup was rubbish and he was loosing half his tread in the wheel arches and causing a fair bit of smoke.

The poster on the forum probably overtook a impreza once upon a time and now he thinks he has beaten it, have had it many times people telling me "mate, I was keeping up with you" only for me to reply " that's nice, do ya wanna try again"

Gotta pity them i suppose

The Pink Ninja 21 January 2013 05:26 PM

I was going to register but really cant be arsed, Maybe the guy in the red Astra VXR with blue wings and blue front bumper who was coming into Blackpool last sunday and thought he had a fast car is on there, Probablly had to change wings and bumper after crashing it, :lol1:

A little tip if you are reading this the outside lane is for overtaking not for VXR`s :D

craigybaby 21 January 2013 05:34 PM

i owned a corsa vxr a few years ago and it was the most unreliable car ive ever owned spent more time in vauxhall than it did in my hands unfortunatly on any car forum u will get people who think like that we're all car enthusiasts not a bunch of chavs we take care etc of our cars not just drive through ripspeed and buy everythink yes u do get the minority of owners who choose to completely chav they're car up but isnt that the same with all cars??

Scooby B 21 January 2013 05:41 PM

Always makes me laugh that people feel the need to compare their cars to scoobys/evos etc. My fiesta out ran a Scooby! My astra pissed over an Evo! Blah blah blah...

You never see a Scooby driver say "my cars as fast as a Astra". Its always the other way round!

End of the day, we dont compare our cars to their sh*t as we know we are the ones who set the bench mark!

huzzy1 21 January 2013 05:46 PM

Fair play there are some proper ***** on there.

mick34 21 January 2013 05:54 PM

i agree, why are they comparing scoobs with evo, i.e scooby= poor mans evo :wonder::wonder:

totally different cars, if i wanted an evo id but one but i wanted a scooby, its like me saying vxr= poor mans audi :thumb:

nothing to compare between the both, scooby will always beat them in a straight line, a-b around twists

sunnyjones003 21 January 2013 06:09 PM

oh yeah maybe coz i got carbon im a chav lol
