you have 300 you should be expected to beat them it power to weight an R is just a crisp packet with a big engine.

the R is a very special car. I was gonna use this for a year then sell it for an escort cossie but the cossie is no where near as quick as this.

yeh, i had a cossie trailing me a while back but i pulled away, which was probably what blew my piston and made me get the wallet out for rebuild. :twisted:

My close friend Ross is running 410Bhp on his STi and is running 12.3-12.4's... I've seen many time slips with R's doing this kind of time with under 300Bhp :).. 2600lbs, vs, 3400+ lbs

I havn't raced a Scoob so can't really voice a weighted argument but I really can't see how a 300bhp R would beat an STI easily. Beat it maybe but easily is a completely different kettle of fish, I know they get slagged off a whole lot but they are still good cars with sledgehammer performance.

The two bosses sons in my work just payed around 30 grand each for a 350Z and wrx sti type uk, and i am dying to take in my R (its 300 bhp) but ive been a bit apprehensive because i know if the impreza beats me his smarmy rich kid face will enrage me.

do i really have anything to worry about in a straight line with a good launch? thats all i need to do to put him in his place. :S

It depends which Sti it is. There's about 6 or 7 different ones listed on the site I just looked at. The quickest are mid 12s, the slowest mid13s+. A 300bhp Gtir should be mid 12s easily.

from what i've seen from the local racing scene is that a modded pulsar will beat a 280+ brake subaru in a straight line, both launching from lights

my play with one was from a steady speed of 50ish and then both boosted to 120ish in straight line, tuk him like i pass an integra type r. but he went round the next bend quicker :evil:
