Dear Night,
Are you gonna be brave enough to bring that souped up medallion to Bruntingthorpe for the next Revs top speed shoot-out?

Pleeeeeeeaaaase - I want me another Lambo scalp!
LOL

Oi Mike!

What are you doing? I thought i might have been in with a chance of topping your 172 with my run-around but if the medallion comes i don't stand much of a chance do I!

Dave,
You are forgetting I set that record with a "mere" 385 bhp, the current engine has 50bhp more at the top end and so should go faster. And as for the new engine (if it is ready in time!), now that would be telling....
LOL

You will probably be able to play for about 14 seconds . Then bang !!!

Seriously never heard of anybody nitrous-ing a scooby. Not sure What the outcome would be.

Best of luck

There is no limit to what you can do, the onlything is that it has to be street legal.

However, do be warned that there was a Cossie running 350bhp with a claimed 100bhp worth of nitros - it got to 130mph and then proceed to dump the contents of the engine inside the bay...

In fact, we were so sure this would happen, we put a bet that it would be the first. And we won....

Nitros and Cossies don't mix, so I can't see it working with an Impreza (even weeker engine!).
LOL
