0-60 times
does anybody know the accurate 0-60 times of standard scoobys, im particually interested in the 99 turbo 2000 as im getting one later this year, ive herd some wild claims of times they seem to variey between 5.2ish and 6.5ish. Also if you add a few simple mods i.e exhaust ect.. does it make much if any diffrence.
Thanks
Thanks

I was quite surprised at the stopping distances. In the Highway Code, 70-0 mph is quoted as 96m. The Impreza does it in 47.6m. 
Hmm, maybe its time the old blue book was updated!

Yep, the highway code is vastly over-exagerrated, I think it's based on the stopping Distance of an Austin Seven driven by a man with matchsticks for legs 
But (un)suprisingly, it can be quite accurate if you have fast road pads that are cold or cheap and nasty tyres on a wet road

Do you want to know what the fasted timed run? Or are you really wanting to know what car is REALLY the fastest? 0-60 is one of the most misleading scale out there at times.

...Ford Anglias on the other hand.......My Landy can get 98% braking force on the Talpey metre
Scoob can only muster 93%
Although when they get hot, fade can be an interesting issue, when the 3rd 60-zero stop requires both feet on the pedal

thanks guys,
thats given me a rough idea, so u you recomn if u add just like an exhuat and induction kit you could drop it by maby .2 or.3 of a second or is that just imposible to calcuate because that would really depend on your start

Backbox does nowt but make noise. Decat the centre and/or downpipe catalysts for more gains (although be aware of possible boost spiking on post 98 cars with decat downpipes).
Inductions kits are highly debated in terms of reliability to MAF sensors too.

Fastest car ive ever had to 60 was my Evo IVRS it was running autronics management, 310bhp at the wheels and well under a ton in weight, with a close ratio box, it was sub 4 seconds, it was like a motorbike.
My P1 was also pretty quick, my current car the 01 wrx is painfully slow, but hope that will change with the remap today

I've gat a MY05 STI PPP and did a few launches form 0-60 at the weekend:-
4.75 (not a very good start)
4.6 (ok start but still felt wrong)
4.45 (good start, slight wheel spin off the mark. Nt much clutch abuse (3,500 rpm launch). Felt good and not much more in the tank for improvement).
Running Tesco 99 fuel (full tank)
STI Panel air filter
