hey all,

i'm trying to explain to a work colleague that af stripped out impreza running over 1000bhp is faster than a veron, but i can't find proof to show him.

theres a brew round resting on this - does any one know the official 0-60 time with a link showing it?

Cheers!
Stevo

 

Theres an article on it in this months Japanese Perfromance with the figures if thats any help??

 

just link Andy's Quarter mile video and compare the time on the board to a veyrons quarter time

 

Veyron Q-mile

Andy Forrest Q-mile

I only used this clip of AF as it shows the time board at the end, he has gone faster though

 

Andys car is Awesome.

 

i've shown him the video - he can't believe an impreza will do a sub 3 second 0-60 - need something that shows it - i'm ready for a cup of tea ha ha

 

Well that video shows 0 - 163 mph in 8.5 seconds lol

 

i know that - you know that, everyone knows that - but i need a link ha ha ha

 

I've recorded a sub 3 second 0-60 with far less power than Andy has got, I'd suspect he's getting near to sub 2 seconds with the level of power he has and the grip from the slicks.
Awesome piece of engineering

 

Oi!................Get some work done -no wonder the country's going down the pan

never mind that jonhd, this is getting serious - i've made a month's worth of making brews bet

 

Taken from Andys build thread:


Logs showed 0-60 =2.2 seconds including the lift off to straighten her up, 0-100 = 4.0 which included 0.8 seconds of sitting on the limiter due to me being taken by surprise and not being quick enough pulling the lever! The interesting bit was she actually ran 2 bar in 3rd, overboosting slightly due to the very low air temperatures compared to when setting up the wastegate on the dyno, so I now know what 1000bhp feels like in 1000kg if only for 1 second lol............I like it very much!

Now tell your mate to shut up and put the kettle on.......................

 

top man - cheers!

 

 

Andy's cars weight was around the 1000kg mark with 1000 bhp

The veyron is around 1880 kg i think with the same power.

 

If he was my friend I would be-friend him for ever doubting the Impreza

 

Be-friend means 'to make him a friend'

 

lol

 

Who is this Andy Forrset of which you speak ...

TX.

 

If that's the case, you would expect the Veyron to have a distinct disadvantage, however, in terms of acceleration capabilities, how do the torque values compare?

JohnD

 

Not sure what Andy has torque wise but a veyron develops over 900 Lbft.

 

Andy's car has around 900lb/ft.

 

I used to own a dax rush with a full hole shot racing hyabusa full raced 1450cc with cams and special gearing only thing it didn't have was the turbo 217hp but weighed less than 500kg and that done 0-60 in 3.2 seconds so I AF must be quicker

keep it up Andy

 

Dax Rush.

 

Fax rush.....lol....

Just use email it's quicker than a fax.

 

Fat fingered typing lol

 

!!!

 

i think it is great to see other tuners supporting another of their crowd.

we all respect everyone of you guys!

 

I didn't know at first either but the sign wrtiting on his car sort of gave a strong clue

VERY friendly and calm person. Amazing engine. I had to shake his hand for that one time a year I was in the UK



Cheers,
Walter

 

Andy's a really nice guy, remapped my WRX 4 years ago.

I also had a good look round the AFP Impreza in the videos when I was at his workshop.

Was he not trying to sell it a while back?
