Hi,
just thought to myself who has got the quickest/fastest scooby on scoobynet?????......cheers

john banks

Andy F has the best quarter times (lots in the 10s) apart from I think one run from the Calder car which was not backed up with other runs within a close tolerance, which I gather are usually required to substantiate a 1/4 mile claim. Pavlo and the Iceland/RCMS cars are biting at Andy's heels, and all keep moving the game on. I'm getting Andy's old turbo so I think he will be planning something else at some point

jjones

the one being driven by the apprentice at a main delears near you!

wbm3

0-60, 0-100, 60-140 or top end speed??

Stiver3

0-60 & 0-100 times...does any scooby do a 60-time in under 4.0sec?? and 100 under 7secs?? any pictures of these beasts???

john banks

Even mine does 0-60 in the high 3s in the wet (I could give you a pic, but it deliberately looks very low key like a standard old UK turbo). 100 in 7 is more tricky, Andy was mid 7s on first setup before the NOS, dogbox, high boost, sticky tyres etc, so think he will be in the 6s no trouble now.

there some amazing stats for an impreza! must be scary..I would say what do other impreza/evo's say when you pass them, but with that power some ferrari's,911's,M3's etc...should be scared! I thought mine was quick @ 4.4, but big respect to you mate

john banks

0-60 in the 3s won't make you pass someone though... it will just mean they are unlikely to catch you, it is not unknown for some imports to get near this in the dry with a good driver. 30-70 or 60-125 say are more relevant. Doing say 60-80 in about half the time of an M3 is interesting.

Re scary, not really if you are careful and respectful, main thing is not using it when other road users are nearby, as the "refresh rate" that most drivers use for vision would just not process your movements so it would be like you had come and gone out of nowhere. Some bikers are so unused to being near a wrung out car for any length of time that it is something I just won't entertain, you could easily get them to push too hard depending on their skill, road surface etc. It is quite easy to end up with a Scooby that is way too fast to be used to anything like its potential on the road even if the grip, braking etc are adequate to put the power down.

Mine is by no means the fastest, but probably amongst the fastest that does 70 miles a day.

Stiver3

Top motor though mate..and still usuable quality

id say that steve williams scoobyclinic car is the fastest..?

kilo_4que

I dont know about fastest but I can say that Harvey Smiths version 6 wagon is 585BHP. So powerwise it must be amongst the best but quickest i wouldnt know

mart360

ALL SOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW

who needs 538 bhp.....

115... stealth scooby .. so feckin f fast no one sees it, and thats a fact!!!!!!!


the only time it was seen, was when some muppet ran into the back of it!!!!!!!



lol Mart

peachy wrx

i'm sure this is harvey's?

It was/is not an out and out track car but a daily driver.
Top speed at Bruntingthorpe is 182-186 mph on 4.11 diffs currently fitted.
I will put it back on 3.9s as the new engine is developed.

kilo_4que

lol u might not realise Harvey but im all when i see ure car

I have a black version 5 myself

Stiver3

credit to ya all', A 580HP wagon! quality bit of kit!, isnt there a 550HP 22B on here aswell? thats got to be farley swift!

Jake

Yep, not mine though.

Brun

Adam M's?

Adam M

nah mine wont have 550bhp anymore, I have just switched to a smaller turbo to make for a faster all round car (more area under the power curve and all that).

Should still be good for 500bhp (on optimax and NF) and more importantly 550lbft from 3000rpm and still holding nearly 400lbft at 7000 rpm. That is what makes it quick.

But you won't see mine on a drag strip as it an everyday car and isn't stripped out like andy's etc.

still has full interior, synchro gearkit, air con, sat nav, stereo, spare wheel and a heavy weight full time battery. I wonder what it could do with a good driver behind the wheel, such as andy.

If you want to look out for fast cars in the future then i would keep an eye on Pavlo.

Am fairly certain he will overtake Andy this year for the best quarter mile time, but you can't take anything away from andy's driving, including on the handling track.

In terms of sheer power, much as mine probably has the most torque (without nitrous) watch out for christians which should now be running. He made 595 proven bhp on the engine dyno and 621lbft. His is the same engine spec as mine although he went for a different manifold which cost him his air con and for the larest turbo which would be reasonable. i wasn't prepared to lose out on drivability for the sake of saying I have the most power, so am happy to make do with a less trained 500 of each and much more usable torque. I am also against the idea of nos but can see its advantage for drag racing.

No need for that brun! I get all shy!




Some old piccies which make me smile.

It has moved on a long way since then!

Brun

gso

how about some new pics Adam?

awesome beast!

Adam M

car is gathering dust at the mo as I have impending exams and don't like to distract myself.

Once they are over, it will get a nice wash with some brand new products (thanks to alex creasy (ex sti 2 now r33 owner) at www.seriousperformance.co.uk).

After that will sort pics.

Am waiting for scoobysport suspension and dccd controller. Need to refit air con rad and plumbing and recharge that system. Also will be fitting graphical psi monitor configured to read direct from pectel as currently I have no boost gauge!

Checking the lap top at 2.2 bar to see if you are overboosting is a little scary and not something I want to have to do.

The snow at the moment isnt helping either, especially with 255s all round.

i was just wondering what a 500+ bhp scoobaru was like? i think mine is 270ish?

but have been in a 500 bhp cossie and my bum hole nearly healed over but was wondering what that would be like side by side ?
like i said mine is 270ish and i sometimes struggle to keep it all together but with some people running nearly 300 more how the **** do u hold on to these things ???onder2:

ex-webby

500bhp in a cossie can be fairly scary...... my old RS500 lost traction (RWD with 507bhp and 458 ft/lb) in 4th gear at about 100mph in a straight line, while holding full boost at 2.3bar on a T4!

I have the up most respect for these Scooby guys with similar power....... just wish I had had that power with the stability of 4WD.

I'm now back to a lowly 305bhp in my STi......... but watch this space.

Regards,
Shaun.

scooby-si

yes

but the 0/100 in 7 i dont think so at the minute

50/70 in top gear 3.9

as no one else is claiming it,i am going to stick my neck out a bit and claim the 2nd place in the 0/60ft time

scooby-si

is that the silver wagon?? it will not be as quick as andyf's

Pavlo

I made 0-104 in 7.3 seconds (might even be 7.1), but was still wheelspinning up to about 55mph at the pod on sunday.

Impending exams? What are you studying for??
