standard classic import wrxs (the only classic wrxs are imports) are 4.9 to 60 book time. The 212bhp UK turbo 2000 are over 5 seconds, but they have 60+bhp less and have different gearing
The new age bug eye UK wrxs are 5.5 to 60 but they are 221bhp and 1400kg compared to 276bhp and 1200kg. They are pretty crap really.
as i said above my old 2.0 clio would keep with the scooby once rolling without a doubt (up to 130 anyway), but the reason i bought it is cos i wanted something comfy, thats looks nice, but is still as quick as the clio was.
and the birds fekin love it
