Just how fast is a standard P1?

 

0-60 in about 4.6, limited to 155mph top end.

 

276 bhp @ 6500rpm

260lb/ft @ 4000rpm

0-60 mph 4.7secs

1/4 mile 13.9 secs 105mph

1km 24.6 secs 127mph

50-70 mph in top 6.8 secs

30-70 thru gears 4.8 secs

top speed 155 mph

autocar 5/4/2000

 

The P1 doesn't have a limiter

 

No it doesn't

 

It goes till it blows....

not as quick as yours

Bob

 

correct, they do not hav a limiter, i hav had mine 160 on the clock a few times. also over 155 on the gps on a private road both times!!! lol

 

So what happens to the boost when you get over 150 MPH, and what about the boost at 155 MPH. Thought it drops off, so hence the car is limited. Just like nearly all productions car?? We are talking standard cars here, and not TEK remaps

THE P1 IS THE DADDY.MIND BLOWING AS A STANDARD CAR.AS ABOVE LOOSE RELIABILTY WTH STANDARD MODS.

 

Hmm...think the M3 was 318i badged as an M3

 

That was definitely an M3.

P1's rock

Andy

 

I want a 318i if they can keep a P1 behind on a track for that long

 

No the M3 driver was driving like a girl

To be honest, I wasn't that impressed with either of them!

Phill

PS I like the P1, but don't think it's the best Classic and think they are a little over-rated by some people

 

LOL, he is the owner of http://www.easytrack.co.uk/homepage.asp and TBH I don't think he even knew the P1 was wanting a race.

 

No it's not.

A type-r is the better car

 

Not on UK roads

 

I'd say an RB5 WRSport would be better, lol

Phill

 

Please explain why?

 

Isn't the Type R supposed to have harder suspension (as Japanese roads are smoother) so they skip around the road?

Phill

 

I was just going on what Dave Lapworth was saying on the P1 video that came with mine, pretty sure he said it was limited to 155mph.

I've had mine well off the clock a couple of times (reading at least 165mph) but the speedo reads over by a fair bit at those sorts of speeds. Didn't have the road angel in at the time so can't say exactly how fast it was going.

 

So how would a P1 compare to a 330bhp UK Spec Scooby?

 

It wouldnt handle as well thats for sure...

my m8 has a modded uk scooby my00 thay have a small turbo off the mark it picks up faster but when i hit 3rd i just pull away but mine is tek3 runing 340ish bhp
he is runing full de-cat 1.25bar on a prodrive ECU wot do you think the bhp would be

 

What year / model?

For UK spec MY00 with those mods, i'd say maximum of 270bhp with a PPP ecu.

 

P1 has to be oneof the best looking subaru

 

i have a p1 my00

 

The debate goes on ............................................

Both cars are good. I prefer the P1 so I bought one.......................end of

Type R's rule, esp V5. None of that fickle V4 or blue seat V6 nonsense.
