Sorry guys, after several years of Scooby ownership (WRX & STi5 Type R) I have now gone to the dark side, picked up this mint unmodifed 6GSR with only 14K on the clock....and boy does it go

On paper the standard 5 Type R is 4.3 to 60 and the Evo6 is 4.4
But in the real world I'd say there is nothing in it, perhaps when the AYC cuts in on corners the Evo has a slight edge as it tightens up nicely but really I reckon they are identical, I did like the diff on the Type R as I love a bit of rear end action (ooeerrr)
A decat and induction kit would free things up a bit, and a remap would make it mental but I reckon out of the box these are very impressive bits of kit.
This is my old scooby, had it for a few years and loved it

Looks a minter... and with that mileage your laughing!
When I went shopping at MacKay Trading for my Type R they had blue TME... looked nice but I just couldnt get my head round the interior... really didnt like it
Cool looking motor. Does that mean your going to join those miserable barstewards over on the MLR? My mate has an FQ300 and prefers coming out with the Scooby lot

The 4.5K service intervals is a real pain but right now my other 1/2 walks to work and I use a van so we won't clock that many miles up, so its the right time to get an evo, plus there are two scoobs in our street already and I like being different

Also, he's a miserable bugger and not the nicest person to buy from, he certainly doesnt fall over himself to make the buying experience a pleasant one!
Anyway.... DanTheMan... nice car mate

Wow Bootifull.
Can't compete with that topdeal.Only wish I could find something on my petty budget of £4500,all I've seen so far are dogs
I feel like a small fish in a big pond here.
Nice one
