After seeing hugely different reports of performance for the EVO 8 260 I was very pleased to see a guy driving a red one locally. A bit of a blat later and I have to say the old sti ppp did me proud, pulling away nicely, I must admit the EVO did look quite nice, but not as good as the look on his face......

Makes me wonder if the alleged 286 out of the box is reserved for magazines !

MattW

He probably has a bigger d1ck though

SPEN555

Might have been just runnin it in!

jason4656

what about the twisties? lol yawn yawn

you were pulling away? he probably didnt even notice you lol

The Fixer

PMSL @ Jason

nigsy

Is that why he was revving his engine like a crazed madman? Or perhaps it was a Vectra? No definitely not he had the BNP badge in the window

MattW

well he was a tw@t then

jason4656

so now when ur racing away in ur oh so quiet car, ur listening to the engine note of the other car?? lol

he was probably just having a leisurely drive, after watching top gear, then he thought, oh look, theres one of them understeery cars from top gear lol

*wind up* lol

<flame suit is on>

nigsy

I was sitting at the lights with the window open, revs at oooh 700 rpm, hardly loud ! The small spoiler just screams "hello sailor!"

jjones

he would have spanked you in the "twisties"

260 vs 300bhp??
I have a scoob - but pick on a Pepsi Max Evo VIII with "280" to "340"bhp (or more) and they will kick your *** .......

MattW

LMAO - Just made war on all the WRX owners too

WR1 Bro

I've owned the WRX 03 with PPP (260ish HP) and the Evo 8 260 and the Evo is definitely the quicker car. Not as comfortable, not as good an all rounder but definitely quicker whether it has 261 hp or 285.

I would also say that it would paste any standard scoob (STI, PPP, WR1) around a track as that is what it has been set up for. On the road it would be nip and tuck and to be honest you would have to be a loony deserving of a great big ban before you managed to seperate them.

As a drivers car the Evo is in a different league. As an everyday fast car the Scoob is probably more appealing to the majority.

Superb - which is why we don't get bored of this "racing" - lots of testosterone you see

WR1 Bro

All I can see is a lot of hot air and not a lot of action! Get a life and get out boys n GIRLS
