Question to you learned guys!

Which imprezza of all the models would give me the quickest 0-60 time?....

I'm talking sub 4 seconds if possible...
Or am i talking crap? and its not possible?

I'm guessing a STI RA with mods and short box?

STI type R/RA are the quickest accelerating but top end is reduced to compensate for the short ratio 5th gear

Mine,

SH?t of a Shovel 94 RA, crap on fuel but it goes like stink.....

Spec C

The RA is even more impressive when you consider that it takes 2 gear changes to reach 60mph!!!

My RA is virtually the same speed as my M5 upto about 110mph, I have measured it at 11 sec to 100mph......on the track!!

I'm more impressed that your M5 is as quick as the RA

Seems the RA is the boy to have for acceleration, if it wasn't for the short gearing what would be the next, i assume a P1?
Bit concerned living in Mk as i'd be on in and out of gears 4 ever!
PS- gotta be udner 8k.

i (kind of) work in shenley so im fairly familiar with the area, are you a current owner? or a "looking to buy"?

good luck if you havent yet, you wont regret it, will look frawrd to see you flying over some roundabouts soon

actually if you look at harvey's power curve, he has little torque low down and all the power comes in at the top.

Plus his fastest quarter mile lags quite away behind andy forrests quarter miles at crail.

Neilo,
I'm looking to buy pending my Mondeo going in the Citizen next week.

Ive previously had a MY99 back in 99 when they just came out, got it from 'Goldens' in Huddersfield, wow what a day i remember it well!! then i had momentatry insanity and went through....

TVR Cerbera ( FOOKING hell !!! that was quick!!, it really did scare me!)
TVR Tuscan
Jag XJR

Then the need to spend some time not throwing money at cars i ended up with a diesel Mondeo but the cash from the cars meant i moved to MK to a nice new house, just over a year now..

Will look forward to seeing you around too...
What you in?

Neilo

Im in a Silver 03 WRX, UK 300 (prodrive spoiler) STI backbox.

As far as i know im unique!! (so not too hard to spot) long may it continue! Hopefully will be working back in shenley wood again very soon as was temporarily moved to "beltchley", hideous hole that it is....

Nice array of motors to go through there though....

jrrs1
