i dont want to start a big long thing like the punto race but to be honest my old gt turbo raider would have spanked my subaru to 80 how ever the subaru has more looks and the 4 doors keeps the misses happy and if she plays up she will fit in the boot

" spanked " ? i dont think so, try taking the handbrake off.
the raider was either highly modded or you are talking toss ( or more likely trying to start another pointless childish debate)

scotteboy

the raider was a very light car running 175bhp you do the maths not trying to wind no one up just saying

There is more to owning a Scoob than how many cars it will beat in a race!

The crap spouted on here sometimes is unbeleivable!

Ted.

just wonder,sometimes how many peeps that post actually own subarus or have driven them,there is lot of negative comments on here,or is it just one big windup.scooby vs a car who cares,there great motors,best i`v had anyway

scotteboy

very true i was just putting my point in i have owned the following gt turbo, rs turbo, rover600ti i know please dont!, toyota gt4 still got that, but all i was saying was that gt turbo would put you in the back seat like i have never had before it was a gokart

speye91

one for you bubba.....

StickyMicky

the scooby is considerd the benchmark by many

"i beat a scooby"
"i kept up with a scooby"
"i nailed a scooby from the lights"

not quite sure why this is, but that is the way it is

scotteboy

now now now i was only saying how much i loved the old 5 not it was better or faster it just was mad fun that was all

Only today I had someone say "I thought you must have extra income, driving a Subaru on School technician's money". It's an example of perceived "coolness", "expensiveness" or something. I put him straight. "My car's worth about six grand, I fill it up with petrol once a week, I have to keep it serviced like any other car". He seemed really taken aback.

scotteboy

me old scooby is a bit sick and bad at the mo maybe i was losing faith in her.
to end this!!!! it a great car i cant wait to jump in it every day bugger that every hour if the petrol was free . it looks like it doing 100mph standing still. oh and can it get the looks !!!!!!!!!!!

hussair

mate which gt turbo you on about???

scotteboy

r 5 gt turbo with mods

STI Craig

i went to blackpool with a few mates once

was on the front and this r 5 gt turbo came up next to me

i looked at the driver he smiled, so did i. i looked at me m8 and switched on the NOS (50BHP) taking me from 138bhp to 188ish bhp we both laughed

then the lights changed, and i got blown away, could not believe it his car looked like a rust bucket.

would love to fine him in my now tuned impreza lol

im a sore looser

point is dont underestimate a r5

I think the R5 GTT is one of the best "old school" cars for anyone who wants a fast car, fun and easy (ish) on the pocket.

I have to admit that the R5 has to be the best car in terms of fun I have ever had. The power to weight ratio was unbelievable.

I had the odd rush of blood to the head when I had mine. RS Turbo's, pugs etc were not a problem. The only time I was truly left behind is when I tried it on with a RS500 Cossie. You would know the outcome if you had half a brain cell but I was only 19 at the time.

But the point being made is........the R5 are quick and giving the right mod's (120bhp as standard) they can make the 200+ BHP mark.
I spent a small fortune on my car and I as I have said before it was the most fun car I have ever had bar the Scooby of course but they are different beasts.

I have to say though that there is no way a R5 would be keeping up with a Scooby over 50mph unless it was a bog standard WRX and the R5 had around 6k spent on mods. My thoughts that's all.

I'll get my coat.

i dont want to start a debate as to whats the best or not. but every one has a old car that was just great fun from a mini to a super car just the old r 5gtturbo was mine !! i have now moved on to big boys toys !!!!!!!

automodellistagt

the R5's are light, and can be tuned so make them very fast. So are RS Turbos. Great cars, except they break down. A lot.

Quality!

The Impreza is renound for its 0-60 sprint, the flat four block is VERY torquey and the 4wd means there is no loss in traction.. After 80 its open for attack..

Now if a standard Punto GT Turbo can out sprint a Standard WRX to 80 I'll eat my own ****.

BTW. Why would any hetrosexual man drive a Fiat?????

[Davey]

Actually thats still not even a fair test.. Punto GT is the highest performance spec punto, so should it be compared against the highest spec Impreza??? 22B maybe? lol
