Anyone on here? scooby

I added my bit - but i assume he raced a chipped furby

LOL, I love the way one of them used a calculator on some website to gain the performance figures, yet the only thing the said calculator asks for is bhp at the flywheel and weight. No accounting for aerodynamics, torque, gearing etc etc...

In case anyone wants a look:-

Interesting calculator...

Now this would be fun:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 700

Weight without Driver (KG) : 800

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 889.05

0 - 60 (Secs) : 2.51

0 - 100 (Secs) : 5.49

60 - 100 (Secs) : 2.99

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 10.62

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 140.28

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 10.22

Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 145.36

Cool

Isnt an F1 car 900bhp and 650kg? :eek:

...this is funny stuff...therefore, a stock Fabia vRS goes by the following...

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 130

Weight without Driver (KG) : 1350

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 97.84

0 - 60 (Secs) : 10.53

0 - 100 (Secs) : 34.47

60 - 100 (Secs) : 23.94

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 19.00

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 74.24

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 18.80

Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 75.45

...and MY 2.0...

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 122

Weight without Driver (KG) : 1190

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 104.17

0 - 60 (Secs) : 9.95

0 - 100 (Secs) : 31.82

60 - 100 (Secs) : 21.87

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 18.42

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 76.09

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 18.22

Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 77.35

Absolutely hilarious!!!! This calculator is pretty off!

Had my say too

However, a couple of points. First, the Fabia RS is claimed to be 1315 kg, not that this makes any difference to the outcome...

Strangely enough though, if you enter 145 bhp (what most people claim to get on the rollers as std) and 1192 kg (the actual book weight of the closely related Ibiza TDI Sport) then you get this:-

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 145

Weight without Driver (KG) : 1192

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 123.60

0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.50

0 - 100 (Secs) : 24.76

60 - 100 (Secs) : 16.26

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.96

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 82.75

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.76

Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 84.14

which looks strangely like many of the roadtest figures that the magazines get. So I ask this... is the Fabia vRS REALLY 1315 kg, because if it is, according to that calculator, it should not be able to even get its claimed 0-60 time of 9.6 seconds. And maybe it really does push out more power...

Interesting.

OK, I am enjoying having a play.... heres the figure for the standard Octy vRS

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 180

Weight without Driver (KG) : 1354

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 135.07

0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.83

0 - 100 (Secs) : 21.44

60 - 100 (Secs) : 13.61

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.25

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 87.05

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.05

Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 88.52

And a remapped to 230 bhp Octy...

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 230

Weight without Driver (KG) : 1354

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 172.59

0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.34

And finally, my likkle Golf GTI

And the std Fabia vRS with the figures given by Skoda UK

LMAO

Can't be bothered to post on Scoobynet but, I traded in my 02 WRX for a brand new 05 vRS and couldn't be happier!

Don't worry about performance figures, a Scooby is faster if you work it however a standard WRX has none of the punch the vRS has in gear and most of the time thats were you want it. In my opinion the build quality of the vRS is better and the car is just as much fun to drive, just in a different way.

I love Impreza's however they are very EXPENSIVE to run. 60 litre tank of Optimax wiould last about 250 miles before the fuel light came on.

vRS 45 litre tank of Diesel is lasting me just over 400 miles at the moment and it just keeps getting better as it's only done 2000 miles so far.

I am a true convert and after preaching to my mates one has just gone and bought a vRS only last week!

My thoughts exactly Scoobystuff. I had a 52 Plate WRX and my biggest complaint was having to work it so hard to get anything from it.

Just had a catch up over on Scoobynet, it's surprising how many people are posting "yeah I got rid of the Scoob and bought a VRS"

I think some of us need to get out more!!

I think some of us need to get out more!!

Hmmm......*yawn*

Well I pitched in a few times on that thread

I traded my 03 WRX in for a new Furby and am impressed so far. Some people think that diesel is the work of Satan.

I am well impressed with the little furby so far, don't really miss the impreza and besides if I do get trashed by one around Warrington, then chances are I will meet him when out on one of the bikes one day and return the favour

Cheers

aka Fluffmeister on scoobynet

I read that thread with interest, & noticed that when someone said " what is everyday driving " was suprised that no 1 told him ?

The people who think that Diesel is Satan's engine, Obviously haven't driven the newer ones, RESPEC to those that have at least driven a modern diesel & said " no thanks not for me" at least they have tried and can then give an infomed point.

1 point of view i definately agree with, a lowered and chipped furby, makes it a decent "hot" hatch.

Well...

I've driven the Seat Ibiza GT TDi and was very impressed with the amount of torque it had, regardless of just 100BHP, it felt very powerful...the kind of car that could climb the steepest hill with ease...

Still...diesel is not my way to go.
