just got my a*se handed to me...
Driving round earlier in my 300bhp classic wrx saloon, I came accross a classic wagon. I assumed, like with most other cars that with a blip of the throttle in 2nd i'd pull away easily - this was not the case.
What happened next was not what i expected at all - I was at full throttle in 2nd and this wagon absolutely shot past me with ease. to say I was shocked was an understatement. I could hear what I thought was a mixture of turbo chatter and the rally style 'tweeting' dump valve coming from his car. I'd be really interested to find out what he had under there!
I dont often come accross other scoobies for some reason, but I was safe in the knowledge that they dont come 'much' faster than mine. Quite scary really.

FUD, Bills Wagon is a UK classic wagon not a WRX import, which makes it even more of a sleeper

+1 So many people are fooled into thinking that there running 300+bhp when there no where near,if you have 300+ you defo know about it lol,and if you have 350bhp in a classic then you have a very potent car which wouldn't surprise me if that's the sort of power what the wagon had that handed him his ***!!

Wow, quite strange how an innocent post simply making an observation as to how MUCH faster scoobies can go than I initially thought, has turned into 53WRX having a pop at me? Ah well, I won't bother next time.
Also, just a note - the car HAS been remapped.

300bhp just isn't fast anymore in the scheme of things....I run 330 in my P1 and it is fast enough for me to enjoy when I find a nice open bit of road but 400bhp is where it seems to be at these days. Apart from the fact I want to keep my licence I would never try to drag imprezas or evo's on public roads as you just never know what's under the bonnet!!
