lol at the comment of the bloke owning a clio in a 1.9cdti chicken in a circle...
182 cup + Elise
Oh dear, they dont like it do they, lol ! Imprezza's are quick and handle well but I would say 99% of them are owned by chavs who can not drive them. Put a standard 172/182/197/200 against a standard WRX, STI or whatever else around say Anglesey circuit and I would bet that there is only a second or so between the lap times ?
182 cup + Elise
There is a lot of sense in this I pulled off there, They think that all Imprezza's are the fastest things in the world lol ! Now I'm not being funny or anything but I have an '05 182 cup and yes it is quite quick, I know I could worry a lot of scooby drivers with it. I know this because power to weight ratios are not miles apart and the driver is the biggest factor in any of this.
"lol, my 172 used to wipe the floor with wrx's as did my xsara vts even scared a couple of evos with the xsara. When i bought mine i was expecting a lot more from the car. I've only had it a few months and tbh i really hate the thing. Its far too lardy, well under powered and needs what i see a good 3-4k throwing at it to make it what i would consider half decent. So that renders the car totally pointless to me. "

Clio 1970000000
When I used to go to driving meets in my CTR, there was a lad who had a new Evo 8 FQ330. It should have wiped the floor with us CTRs but always came in last as the driver would sh1T himself every time we went out. Just goes to show the driver makes a huge difference.
The scooby also has a lot of 4 wheel drive gear to carry.

Whichever has fuel
If you drove a scooby properly, yes you would get 5.6 second 0-60 times, but you will also do a clutch once a week.
Fact is, they are pants in standard form. I've had 2.
Ph1 172 and Red 197

^^^^ man speaks the true
The 2 guys that have mod'd Evo's in my owners club admit it. Dumping the cluch in 4x4 cars with lots of BPH = BOOM £££££ for new cluch please

my gran and her zimmer frame could beat a WRX. what are they, about 220bhp, and like 1350kgs. so no suprise a 192/197 can keep up/beat it. doesnt take much to work out the power to weight etc.
As for a clio against an STi, as i have owned both a 182, a track focused 172, a spec-c impreza and currently a JDM Sti, when rolling, standard car against standard car, there probably isnt that much in it.
from a standing start, the STi should always win. traction, torque etc. But as mentioned, you launch it for a sub 5 second run to 60 will eat clutches!
I havent read the scoobynet thread, but hey, at least he had the balls to post up about it.
and finally.... i wouldnt give up my scoob for any clio, no matter what is 'faster'!

lol at the vectra comment, i remember nailing the 172 down a motorway sliproad one day giving it 7200rpm changes every gear and even at the top end of 5th still having a f**kin zafira cdti right up my arse!!! it was piling out black smoke everywhere must have had a mental map on it
Not sure they all sound s**t! And there are plenty of chavs in Clios these days as they are dirt cheap to buy.
Did you just say an STi wouldn't be able to pull much on a Clio, once moving?
182 FF
I recently swopped my JDM WRX Bug running about 300 bhp,and it was quite alot faster than my current 182 or previous Civic Type R in any situation!
As for the comment about Impreza s sounding pap,i ve always loved the flat 4 burble and mine sounded :evil: with a full exhaust system.The clio s as much fun though and far cheaper to run and don t regret swopping!
From past experience with the Civic there is little between a standard wrx of about 220 bhp and Type Rs/RS clio s but the sti s will pull away especially with the Prodrive packs etc.

uk turbo - standard is about 220bhp
wrx - standard is about 250bhp
some imports are about 270bhp
when i had my classic uk turbo i had a race with someone on here with a very fast 172ph2 and we were neck and neck but that was with me running only 0.5bar instead of 0.9bar.
got it fixed and did it again and i trampled him. lol

172 - 249bhp @ the wheels
Love Scoobynet and the way people are already making excuses for the chap :lol:
I'd be gutted. However on that cdti 150 engine even a standard map will give 200bhp and 300+ Lbft.
