Me in my recently waxed (very shiny and lots of looks) wr blue standard WRX MY02 minding my own business when I come accross a 911 Turbo (black 52 plate) and red convertable Camaro N-reg travelling towards the M25.

Camaro turns off with a lovely roar and 911 pulls in behind me, gave it some beans in the outside and 911 sticks to the boot lid like **** to a blanket, I know 911 turbo's are quicker than most Scoobs but when I pulled over and let him go with my foot still on the floor it just took off and disappeared like a rocket!!!!!!

I flashed and he slowed down and waved but I still can't get over how quick it was. Don't get me wrong, I knew I had no chance against it but thought at least he would pass me at a slower rate, VERY impressed, think I know what I want for Christmas

I guess that they are a bit more aerodynamic than a scoob as well. Std Scoobs are quite quick to 80mph but then tail off due to brick like shape.

400 BHP in the Porsche says it all really.
I wouldnt even consider 'having a go'.

Zippy

 

The Porsche Turbo is a fast car when compared to the WRX and no wonder it left you for dead!!

Porsche:
BHP per ton = 272
0 - 60 3.9 secs
0 - 100 9.4 secs

WRX:
BHP per ton = 161
0 - 60 5.5 secs
0 - 100 15.7 secs

Not only that...he more than likely slip streamed you!

 

Why ? It might run out of petrol

 

Don't tell me, virtually any circa 1000cc motorbike?

Mike.

 

About time somebody found out that Impreza's aren't what you could call really quick.

 

Scoob = sub 6 second 0-60 and it's a 4 door family saloon/wagon.
Porker = sub 4 second out and out sports car.
I see your point they're not that quick.

 

not to mention price difference.

 

And that's the crucial point. You *can* still get the odd 911 for WRX money, but it would likely be a 1970's model. An affordable 1970's 911 would have 110 to 175bhp and wouldn't easily outrun a WRX because its top speed would be 140 or below.

I've had both, and the Impreza gets my vote hands down on feel as well as on performance for the readies.

 

not to mention twisties.

 

Then you buy a Cossie for less money and destroy the Impreza....................

 

what on twisties. yeah right.
sod this, i ain't starting no cosie v's scooby...

cossie are lovely
scobbies are lovely
porkies are lovely
hell, even i'm lovely...well maybe thats going to far

 

Tik, somebody brought in the cost element when it wasn't required so I put paid to that theory by throwing in the Cossie.

It would be never ending as folk here fly off on a tangent opening far too many equations.

As for the twisties though the Cossie would have finished them before the Impreza had started them if there was a straight beforehand.

 

If anyone sees any small brown lumps coming out of Spoon's mouth, it's bs.

but the cost element is required. otherwise u could also say that someone saying it ones a sports car and one a family saloon wasn't required.

Otherwise you might as well complain that you just bought a 100 800 polo down the local dodgy garage and are upset you just got whipped by some £40k tvr.

as to cossies v's scoobs? who cares they are both saloons/hatchbacks whatever family cars, not sports cars.

so remind me? what was your point again? oh sorry, u didn;'t have one u were just rambling

 

My point being, you read some cráp on these boards from uneducated individuals.
When fact is stated those same folk come out to play with their pub talk.

 

I paid £10k for my 256bhp STi V2 wagon. It's likely now worth £7k.

Where is the cossie for less money than that, which is going to do these things?

In your dreams, pal.

 

Spoon
do you call yourself that because in warwickshire you are know as a **** stirrer ?

m8 had a non turbo porker.. then drove a P1 ...got rid of the porker very shortly after..

also got rid of the p1 mind you but thats another story ..why dont we ever compare GTR's on these type of debate/ramblings by the way??

havin it in a classic wrx styly

j

 

Softwizz is right. In my garage right now is a UK300, a classic Guards red 911 Turbo (1989, not my car btw) and my Yam R1. Between the cars the Scoob gets the vote, drivability, cornering, Scoob is much better, Porker Power comes in with a bloody great rush, (*more girls look at the 911 - just, if its pose value your after?) Newer Porsches are much more refined, the classic you can get for around £20k (this one if you want it) or less, if thats what you really want. But I cant help thinking about the joke about Porsches and D1ck size. If its thrills per £ then the R1 has my vote any day. Bye bye Porsche - eat my Akropovic - if you can catch it? :-)
Dave

btw Used to a 4.3 Griffith and that was better drive than the Porsche, and quicker.

i'd beat ya Yam R1 in me scoob anyday. just let me at it with a nice big thick chain and a asturdy wall, let ya tyres down, poor oil on the road in front of ya, and then give me a 10 mins start and i'll ave ya!!!!

 

Would you mind terribly if I ate my lunch first before setting back off again, it might help even the odds a little as well.

 

Full system, ecutek, bigger turbos, injectors and you could have had a fair chance with c355 bhp.............now that would have scared him...............................

 

true, but only if its a big lunch, cos the extra weight might slow ya down a little
