do you think a 25 year old scooby could finish of a modern one me thinks not,
maybe the evos are getting slower ha ha ha

RRH

but then again a well driven subaru justy could be quicker than an STi8 under certain circumstances.

/i'll get me coat /

now that i would love to see

pwhittle

top Gear (or maybe one of the Clarkson vids) a while back were comapring new for old, and ran I think an Evo 3/4 against an 8, through some cones. There was only a split second in, probably due to the weight increase.
Be good to see the same with an early RA vs STI 8

dickdastardly

yes but a 25 year old lancer that is rear wheel drive with no driver aids out running an evo 5, i wonder how it would fair against a scoob if its that fast

dave44

its a hard one....the scoob has a better chassis, the evo has better gizmo's

Dracoro

I see, can you explain this? What's it about the scoobs chassis that is better than the evo? Genuinely interested to know.

My father had a Colt Lancer Turbo when they first came out in about 1981, it was the fastest four door production car for a good while.....

dickdastardly

it was the fastest back in the 80s but surely a modern turbo 4wd car should out handle and perform a relic if not then why dont we all drive old cars.

i dont supose anybody nows who owns the lancer in question

captain ted

Would rather have a crash in a new one though. No matter how slower it may be!

dickdastardly

thats very true not that i would plan on crashing my pride and joy,
after reading the thread on the mlr i kind of feel sorry for the owner of the old lancer as everybody with a fast car will whant to try and race him.

kammy

Do not think its embarrasing at all. The guy in the EVO 5 seems rather cool, almost respectful of what happened. Hats off to him I say.

I have chased a few scoobies in the wet with my old BMW 325iX, won a few lost a few. Old cars rock...the look on there faces as you dust them is a picture. Very rarely used now but when I do..look out, as that BMW 4wd system is unreal in the rain or snow

There are a few subaru brumby's (old ute's circa 83') with sti running gear around here in aus that would spank a number rex's old generally means light...you cant argue with power to weight.

RB5_245

Here They pitch up a bunch of scoobs and evos together on the track (scooby vs EVO one).

It's the order at the end is, if I remember rightly. STI7 Spec C wins, EVO 7RS next 3rd, 4th and 5th (can't remember the order) STI3,STI7 and EVO7. 6th a good way back was an EVO5 and last by a massive margin was the EVO2.

The EVO 2 driver did say he had more fun than anyone else though.

The STI3 and 7, and the evo 5 were lightly tuned.

Good Videos, well worth watching
