Sorry to embarress you in front of your m8 in your new 911 Turbo. I Was just showing prospective buyer acceleration on an RA.

Loved your wheel spin at the lights after your embaressment nice.......guess you dont like seeing scooby exhausts much..:-)

 

hehe - nice one!
Reminds me of a Zero-Yon battle I had with a 993 Porker on a rain-lashed A580 (East Lancs) a few weeks ago...

"Sorry Mr Doctor/Dentist or whatever you are, you just dont have the grip!! (or at least you need more practice at dragging)"

a surprised bog-std uk turbo xxx

 

a new porsche 911 turbo would eat you for breakfast, I'm interested how he wheel spun it bearing in mind it has one of the most advanced 4WD on a production car today.

willgill - that's assuming it was brand new! I think you can switch the traction control off ....

he said it was

and its permanent AWD AFAIK

 

Arrr yes i must have been wrong - maybe the spinning wheels on the wet tarmac were me pulling open another can of Becs, and his trying to keep up all over the road was him reading a magazine while driving - arrr thats it -

Personal note:Must remember, never post in forums as everyones an expert...and unless we have movie evidence it ddint happen. DOM - remember when you took the 360 mondona - did you film it???:-)

Sigh...classic...

 

Look at the figures, then wonder why people think you're dreaming.

He wasn't trying or he was a crap driver, get a grip.

 

the figures say that the porker will do 0-60 in 4.2 secs,and ive heard of some scoobs that do it in about the same...

BM

 

0-100 or 50-70 in a different league, 0-60 for kids in Nova's and the guy is a dreamer.

 

yeh but to be fair he did say he was in the 0-60 league(from the lights

 

Yeah true, still a dreamer and exactly why I sold my Impreza.

 

so wot are you driving now then m8?if you dont mind my asking

BM

edited to say ive just seen where your from lol

mmm interesting reading - I have driven an older Porsche 911 Turbo (late 70's) and to be honest I don't think there is much difference between it in performance terms 0-60 and my JDM Impreza (slightly modified).

The major difference I find is that the Impreza is a damn sight easier to keep between the ditches - although admittedly maybe Porsche have improved the handling since then.

Interesting to hear they have 4 wheel drive now - maybe I could drive one now and actually point it in the direction I want to go when its wet!!!!

 

I dont mean to sound patronising here but i dont really care if you beleive me or not. I was there it happend and had a buyer in the car with me..so dont really need anyones approval??? If he wasn't trying then he's a poor driver and as for spinning at lights he did...What can i say??? Eitherway dont really care???

 

to answer the other question i drive STI V RA limited or did as sold now to exact person i was test driving with...

 

I drive a version 5 type r and it will eat most.

That bloke must have been a crap driver since yours would not annihilate his porsche turbo.

both fairly evenly matched up to 60

end of.

 

Dream on tough guy, a 911 Turbo will **** on any Scoob.

 

0-60 times on an RA arent that much apart from a 911 turbo and if the RA launches well and the porche driver didnt expect to have to beast his car as hard the RA will get the lead and after that who cares

 

jon coffey you are a **** m8,just have a look at the spec on the porkers,0-60 4.2secs....there are plenty of modded scoobs out there that can get the same sort of times,im not sayin that the scoob is a faster car,kane was just making the point it happened to him whilst showing a buyer his motor...we all know the qualities of the 911,i just think people should read the start of these threads before they start calling people bull-shi**ers.things like this happen all the time,and you will find that that most porsche drivers cant drive such pukka motors and thats why it makes these threads all the more funny to all us scooby enthusiasts

[rant off]

So all Impreza drivers are great drivers and Porsche drivers are crap ?

Sad Impreza drivers deluding themselves that their rice rockets can whip a 911 Turbo is embarrassing, it is no different than a 1.3 Nova driver saying he thrashed an Impreza away from the lights.

'Sad Impreza Turbo Reading' should be the title here I think.

 

At the end off the day does it really matter which is faster or slower. And as for no scooby beating a 911 turbo well thats fine but i bet it`s not a massive difference in performance. And how much is a new 911 turbo and how much is a new Scoob. And does the difference in performance warrant the extra money. I know what i`d go for every time and it ain`t a 911 turbo.

 

Yeah and I would go for a Nova with a turbo lump instead of an Impreza, get real.

 

Yes you probably would.

 

U would go for a scoob instead of a porsche 911 turbo?? Are you mad??

Simon.

 

willgill - ever been in one? Thought not!
With that much power it will still spin all 4 wheels if you just rev it up and dump the clutch.
- The traction control limits the worst of this - but it can be switched off.

Just for reference - what do you drive?

 

@motorsportnicko,

911 turbo or an impreza, and you chose the latter, LOL, I love my impreza but would set fire to it in a second if it meant me getting a 911 turbo.

I honestly missed the point when upon buying my car someone came up and pumped my brain full of hallucinogenic drugs which left me under the impression that imprezas have the ability to beat any car ever made.

Seriously sad guys, you drive cheap but quick japanese sports cars (as do I) they are not and never will be in the same league as a 911 turbo hence there being nearly £80,000 difference in price.

Get over your egos please

 

Madmark

I drive an impreza with a large amount of mods (far too much its very addictive) and a 330ci and yes I've been in one and at no point did I even consider my impreza was quicker, in a straight line I doubt my GZ TT supra was either.

Did the Porsche driver have a blue rinse and a whicker shopping basket on the passenger seat?

Lame Porker driver i suspect....

 

Willgill - nice!

 

0-60 there wouldn't be a noticeable amount in it, even if the porker was trying which he probably wasn't at the first time of asking. I have "beaten" many a quicker car in my Golf TDi, by being ready when the lights change. So damn what? It doesn't make the Golf faster than a Merc or whatever, and it doesn't mean I'm a better driver.
