Got a scooby as well (03 impreza wrx). Trouble is anything else this side of a porsche is going to feel slow in comparison.

Yep, I realise that it won't be as quick as the Scooby, although 280 bhp /1480 kg = 189 bhp/tonne for the Scooby.
190 bhp(for the later OBD2 version)/1200 kg = 162 bhp/tonne for a VR6...... oh yea, I'll notice the difference but it's not mahoosive. And no turbo(s) to get boosting. |

Yeah the turbo really kicks ar53 especially in the lower gears, when we first got the scooby it felt awesome but then you get used to them and they feel fairly tame. I thought it was starting to lack power but let my brother have a go and he came back grinning and said it was in a different league to his car (seat Leon Cupra, although not the R version)

The legacy is twin turbo, which means lots of fun above 4.5k, and just a nice normal engine 1.5-4k.
PS it'll soon be for sale (just waiting for a new windscreen...) |
