The fastest production scoob is the Spec C, so thats sorted
The fastest non-production car is going to be the T-25.

Just don't agree about the T25 non prod. What is the rev limit and what is the gearing?

Tony,
Out of the box the WR1 is quicker than the 280bhp Spec C.
For some unknown reason the media seem to think that they produce 320bp as standard, which as you know they don't.
Just wait until next months Evo mag, all will be revealed.....

Depends really, as theres differant tpyes of Wagon Wheels and Bountys. You have to take into account jam fillings and dark chocolate. Maybe a poll would settle this one.

Wagon Wheels with Jam are far superior to the somewhat dreary Original ones. Therefore, a poll is unnecessary because the answer is clear.

Nooo Micky! Close your eyes, and rub your fingers up and down the bars. Feels like the bark of the coconut tree - hence you are immediately transported to a paradise isle in the Maldives... run a tap at the same time and voila! You ARE in the maldives

PS: I just burned my thumb on the hob whilst making macaroni cheese al a Soulgirl. I won't be able to enjoy my creation as much as I might have if I hadn't burned myself!

Well acutally thats not correct, as out of the box the WR1 has 265ps, its tuned up to 320ps
As for the Spec C being slower, all you need is 290bhp and you have already passed the WR1 in power to weight and torque will be better on the Spec C due to the engine, also most spec c's will be pushing the 300bhp mark in standard form making it even more of a car
At the end of the day, my money is on the Spec C, its just a better out of the box car, its based on a better out of the box car than the WR1 is and has been looked into to do something it was designed to rather than made to do something that it isnt

Ah looks like the figures are out on the WR1 for real life driving, its a touch slower than the spec c by the looks



in the following order... 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile/mph

WR1 - 5.3, 13.1, 13.7/102
SpecC - 4.3, 11.1, 13/108
T25 - 4.4, 10.6, 12.8/110
P1 - 4.9, 13.3, 13.7/101

Tony
PS, the 1/4 mile time is the same as given by subaru japan for the Spec C
