0-60 there was only about a car and a half lenght in and in gear whilst rolling he wasn't getting away alot from about 70mph, this was a WRX with a different exahust so pushing about 240/250bhp (Yes about 40bhp with a decent exhaust cause I was going to buy a Scooby WRX and loked into it), if it was the sti then it would be good night little furby

I am overly please and so was SWMBO :eek:

I think a standard WRX shouldn't be a problem but I am yet to find a completey standard one

May be 240/250bhp, but due to transmission losses, it'll likely be about 170bhp at the wheels and I suspect the WRX weighs a bit more than a Furby so probably pretty even New STi is even heavier I think and only 265bhp, unless you find a PPP'ed one

Chris

Well if a WRX is Sub 6 seconds to 60 then I think I did well.

Aye, but above 60 a remapped Fabia or Octy RS will reel a Scoob or EVO in nicely unless it's one of the top models or is absoloutely mental...

I've done it with a Scoob or 2 and a local EVO4 on more than one occasion. Off the line they'll leave you for dead, once you get moving they get a hell of a shock

killed a VTR to 60 (I didn't want to speed!).... not much of a fight but much improvement on 2nd and 3rd with AMD's help

traction control has to work for its money never had the light on before

Umm...a VTR?

So you should !

My mate is getting a totally standard scooby wrx UK T reg today he picks it up, he wants to have a race next week at work i will tell you all how I get on, I am quietly confident mind you.

Keep us informed

No matter how well you do with the std Furby, you could better it ( YouKnowWhatIMean )

Had a race with a new shape WRX STi & I was surprised that it wasn't much faster than the Furby.

Had a drive of a 410 bhp twin turbo Supra last night, now that is fast!!

One fo my friends also has a twin turbo supra, running about 470 BHP and that is scary time, i thought i was an acceleration junky but that was painful :eek:

had a fight with a scobby the nite in the octy vrs heading home with a prodrive wrx uk edition!!!

man there quick! had him nearly top end thou, could not get no where near him low down!

Rob.

been playing going on our way to newcastle over the hills the pull out of the bends was mind blowing. much quicker in 2nd and 3rd

I personally wouldn't dream of picking on a Scooby in mine, way to quick for me in mine :(

yer right I seem to remember an article about this

Not me guv, I only have a meagre 74 bhp*

:langel:

*per driven wheel

I'm not even going to take the bait...

Go on, you know you want to

I will say one thing - how on earth do you people control a remapped Furby in the wet...our standard is an absolute nightmare in the wet.

sooooooooo (big breath...) FWIW My Scoob is slow in a straight line and back to back the (standard) Furby could probably just about stay with it to 60 - but when its dry I take the bike .

My point for buying the Scoob was its wet weather performance (everyone should experience 4 wheel drive) and its tunability. The single figure MPGs are making me cry, though :(

:eek: Sure you don't have a hole in your fuel tank?

Chris

Tell me about it

240 miles to a tank - 150 miles in 5th gear at 40 mph on the commute and 90 miles at...ahem....a bit faster than 40 mph

Only averaging 25 MPG over the full tank :(

sooooooooo (big breath...) FWIW My Scoob is slow in a straight line and back to back the (standard) Furby could probably just about stay with it to 60 - Maybe it was an Sti then ? It didn't have the STi badge or any of the noticable goodies but it did just about leave me and I wasn't hanging around' date=' I would of thought a genuine STi would of killed a chipped Furby[/b']

BTW it was an older shaped Scooby not a new one if that helps ?

If it was the "classic" shape then WRX and STi are likely to be 280-300bhp and both Japanese imports. A standard UK turbo (badged Turbo 2000 AWD) is 208-215bhp. You'll only see a jump in bhp if you change at least the centre section and back box - the back box alone won't buy you any gains.

If it was a "bug eye" or newer shape then WRX will be 225bhp and STi will be 265bhp, assuming it hasn't had the PPP applied
