400hp vs cars under 300 - surprise result of the year?!

Cossie got panned in latest Evo Mag, quite rightly IMHO. 22b & P1 look though.

Would be lot better to have a classic with 400bhp and see what happens then

Or some guys from Scoobynet BHP leaderboard

yeah exactly, give the rb5 the same spec as the cs400, then have another go lol

MMT WRX

They should have got Kev's 22b from the Scoobyclinic, I think that's close on 600bhp.

Dave Milne ( RB5 owner an driver ) Had a full tank as he was told it was a road test not a full out blast down a run way others had half tanks etc..

Either way he had his car well way from the flying stones

Would have been interesting to see the Mark2 Type25 (cosworth etc) compete against the cs400....less money better car!

As said above,how can you compare cars with such varying bhp/torque ?

surely all the cars should be within 15-20 bhp of each other etc, comparing an rb5 with what he claimed was 265 bhp or there about to a 305 bhp p1 etc ?????

It's the same issues when they compare evos and Scoobys. They get an fq400 and compare it with a uk wrx!! At best an sti but you've gotta do a like for like .....meaningless otherwise when looking at performance.

shame there wasnt any imports as that could have been different!

Yeah it is a good vid, but does seem a little pointless in comparing a 400BHP 50k car to 200+BHP 5-10k cars.. The results are pretty obvious; the cars aren't in the same league (it's like comparing a ford mondeo to an RS4).
