That Impreza was fitted with an SSQV. That's why it won.

Nothing wrong with a bit friendly competition

( although in my case the evo wins by a fair bit )

That is actually incorrect, you just need to check out the factory cars racing in Japan to see which are the quicker, its not the evo (though there isnt much in it in some cases).

Yeah i always thought evos were a bit quicker as they had more power out the box excluding RB320 and cs400 with their fq 320,360 and 400 but the scoobs were a better daily driver and just as quick in the real world.

Both good cars I chose scoob due to lower running costs, but think for a fair comparison the evo must be put up against a jdm.

Why? When comparing you should be comparing standard cars. As far as i know the jdm standard has less power than a standard uk car.

Here's my old on I had for 5 years.


Still miss it sometimes.this type R is a little quicker in a straight line,and keeps you on you're toes a bit more.
The Evo did handle a bit better than the scoob.It was an Evo 3 so didn't have AYC.I don't like driving aids.
It never let me down once.
My favourite is................,ok I still can't decide.Love em both.

Actually the 2ltr twin scroll has more bhp and torque out of the box than the 2.5

ref 03 sti

and

http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/review.../evo-vii-2002/
03 evo

0.2 of a sec quicker to 60 and 5mph higher top speed goes to the evo . this is just the first example i came across with googles help , so would stand by my original statment . evo's may be marginally quicker but a scoob will handle better and possibly do a quicker lap (track dependant). confirm's what i originally thought .

Not a lot in it in the real world.

Had 2 Evo's (VIII & IX). Beat some scoobs, lost to some scoobs. Always respected both makes.

Now looking for a V4/V5 typeR or Sti bug to make the switch.

Good one you have quoted a JDM evo against a UK spec sti.
Now if you go for my MY03, 4.3 to 60, 276 (quoted) bhp, 290lbs of torque (factory figures of 280ps/290lbs) it sort of moves the goal posts a little

You could if you wished, quote the evo 260 v the my05 uk sti, much better comparison as anything else is actually a JDM model when it comes to evo's in the uk

@ Tony.....

.....You can't use Evo 260 figures as everyone knows their not a real Evo!! Plus they have a ****ty 1st gear rev limit.

And the manufacturers claims are always exaggerated.

0-60 times for a VIII MR RS (jdm) and VIII FQ300 (ukdm) are oft found quoted as the same but the RS has less weight, RS short ratio box, etc etc......
