Wow they're hardcore. Do you think they've come up against a fiesta st......

 

He is boasting that he beat a Subaru thats worth max £10k in a Audi R8??? Not really something to brag about!!! And they say Subaru owners are all chavs, you got grown men in Audi R8's and Vauxhall VXR8's and there sharing there racing stories on a public forum!!!

 

Some people spout some crap lol

 

Assuming he's driving an older VXR8 with around 420 each bhp & ft/lbs, if it's not tweaked.
If it's a new one it's around 550 of each.
Also assuming he's up against a stock STi with around 35% less of each.
And he gave it a good thrashing.
Quelle surprise.
Oh well, another ***** waving contest done and dusted.

 

I don't think it's an Audi, as he mentions 'ozzie muscle'. Must be a VXR8 as that's mentioned further down the thread.

 

It's a Holden R8 Ls3

 

There's not nearly enough information to make this claim to fame the least bit interesting, or shaming come to that.
What were the prevailing conditions? Wet, dry? Straight road, twisties? Public road, private road? Rolling start, standing start? Did the scooby driver give a toss?

 

Yeah my confusion, he put R8 1 Scooby 0. But its on a VXR8 forum part!!! thought it was a Audi not a crappy Vauxhall/Holden Aussie crap!!!

 

Thing is my 58 year old dad drives a standard bugeye WRX(215bhp) fills it up with normal unleaded etc if you was to go against that in anything with turbo(lets say a 180bhp hot hatch) you would probably beat him. Not exactly something to brag about!!

 

I think we can guess............

 

It was probs a sport

 

Most propberly the laterSJ.

 

I like the bit where his oil temp hit 130 deg just because he put his boot in

 

Let's face it, it would only be in a straight line and dry, so probably on a motorway if his temps had time to rise to 130.

I like the big muscle cars but they don't do twisties and get very boring very quickly, I had one in NZ for 3 weeks got sick of it after a couple of days couldn't corner for toffee.

 

it was only an sti he raced, maybe he will try it again against a wrx ppp....

 

Yeah I did figure that bit out for myself
For a minute I thought you were going to say it was on a private road
I'm sure the scooby driver lost a whole lot of sleep though.

 

ive replied

 

Yep I was very tempted to say "Standard STI explains it all, you won't play that **** with a WRX PPP"

Would it be rude for me to ask the circumstances and exactly how you embarrassed the Subaru...in what context...off the lights? around a bend? down a hill?

Not rude at all. All of the above mate

 

You have a bite

 

i know i cant be arsed to argue with a man that drives a vauxhall.

the fact he had to post on a forum he beat a subaru speaks volumes.

you dont see many subaru owners posting " i beat a vauxhall"

 

i was going to post something awesome but got distracted by Aaron1978's profile pic ,dam boobies!!

 

Well that's surely because they're all amazing and the fastest things ever.

 

A few weeks back I annihilated an Astra gtc bi turbo diesel off the lights.....I am a hero? My wife was proud

 

Trust you.............

 

I've had a reply

Wrexham's not that far away.
Perhaps I'll go hunting

 

Tubbys comment in that thread had me laughing, even funnier when the next post was "don't feed the troll" hahaqha great stuff.

 

Why do Scoobys attract such attention? Few years ago i parked mine up outside local pub at which point two yoofs sat in the beer garden proceed to tell me how they raced it from lights yesterday in their Corsa and "blitzed" it to which i replied "oh you mean with my wife driving home from tesco with my 2 month old daughter in the back" ******

 

I see ditch has made comment, I'm surprised he hasn't hit'em with the PPP
