Mr Polka,

Sorry mate, that was another Scoob

Mines DBM and it was between Leominster & Hereford (Bodenham road).....
The porka was a red one (the colour that makes it faster )

What a load of codswollop on here - thank god for choice!!
If you like Porsches so much get on the porschenet (oh they haven't got one) and pretend you are somebody on there.
Some people eh :-]

davyboy

[panto style]Oh yes they do[/panto style]

Did someone touch a nerve

mrgtr

porche=fast, no, i dont think,
a 944 is a match for any shopping trolley, buts thats about it's limits. Its just an underpowered barge.
very similar to a boxter, it just should'nt be called a sports car.

davyboy

lol

The word "clueless" springs to mind, oh, and "loser"

Dave

mr_gazza

my mates got a 944 turbo. I've got a my00 classic scooby. His is faster.

simple as that.

BlackScoobyWRX

Nothing's that simple Gazza
If you're running a standard UK classic then maybe
If its an import WRX STi then no chance - you'd romp him
Now that's fact :-)

camk

so yes lets compare 15-20 year old cars against modified jap cars...yawn. You pay your money and take your choice, .5 seconds here and there on a cars performance is not for me a big issue. I'm not a big fan of 944 looks but please lets get what we're comparing into perspective. When these cars were out the ZX81 was the laptop of the day. The fact your still arguing about them today is testimony to how goos they were/are.

Woooo hoooo... someone with sense!!!!!

This thread wasn't started about the looks, heritage of cars it was started because a porker got slapped down by another scoob, I could of bought a Porker but chose not too...Everybody makes there own mind up at the end of the day....But to have the porker driver on here confirm he was slapped down AND that he bought it to SAVE money just ends the whole argument doesn't it ?

camk

just another example thread of looking to stack up the cards to make a reasonable defence for the Impreza. Its a good car and has been a great car but its not the be all and end all of automotive excellence that many of the owner's on here think it is . The quote on looks is just as valid as many of the other quotes in the thread e.g. wet,twisties,modded,WRX,UK blah blah blah, naturally only if your not being blinkered

CataIunya

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I think the classic with the right bits looks amazing but then I have always loved the look of Japanese cars.....I think the new limited edition 911 looks pants, like most cars the longer its around the worse looking it gets over the years IMHO. As for heritage Subaru were once unbeatable in the Rally stakes and looks like we will do well this year.

Mr Polka

'This thread wasn't started about the looks, heritage of cars it was started because a porker got slapped down by another scoob,'


er no actually, it was started because a Scooby was caught up by an unknown 944 and when he accelerated he could not get away. It's obvious we all love our cars and thank god that they are all different or the world would be a boring place, but this forum is full of 'my Scooby beat that and my Sccoby beat this'. It just looks silly. I enjoyed my time with my Scooby please don't spoil the memory.

On the Porsche and Ferrari forums it's funny but Scoobies are rarely mentioned.

davyboy

......Now that a little fib

dave

chrisp

davy what the 0-100 of a 944 turbo ? can it go under 13 seconds ?

As I see in EVO a 968CS is 15.7 and that has a slightly better PTW than a 944 turbo.

[Edited by chrisp - 8/24/2003 7:25:01 PM]

davyboy

0-60 in 5.7 - poor traction - compared to 4WD
0-100 in 13.5 - now we're hauling ***

7.8 from 60-100, over half a second quicker than a ledendary P1 Chrisp I am sure you will say your does it quicker, but I would be interested in the 60-100 of your car.

(using Evo magazine figures for both cars, edited to day Evo does not print the 0-100 of the 944 turbo, although do a google search search and you'll see.)

As you can see, once moving it does go fairly briskly, and 0-whatever does nothing for me, as I don't use it on trackday or in day to day driving, oh and mine has 40bhp more than standard

Very difficult finding figures for the RA asa they are all in Japanese. Form a few mag review of type Rs and a few RAs it looks like 0-60 4.3 and 0-100 in 12.9 so 60-100 is 8.6. Then again mine aint standard either .

Hoping to run it at SPOD before the end of the year and get under 20 seconds . Pretty sure the cars capable of a fast time but I am probably not LOL.

ScoobyDoo555

LMAO!!!

I didn't realise I'd cause sooooo much of an issue.

This thread wasn't about "my car's faster than yours", it was moreso about a childhood fantasy that like so many other fastasies (), was dispelled (sp?) in the cold light of day.....

I used to look at 944s in awe, and think "yeh, one day I'll have one".

I still stand by that statement, but the shine has been taken off it just slightly

Just goes to show that, in some cases, the only exotic thing about a marque is the name

KIDDING!!!!

My, my - what a jape

Dan

CataIunya

So what if its my scooby beat this and that....Its a Scooby board fer *** sake....I have said it before and will say it again if someone wants to big up their car (which the thread starter wasn't to be fair) where else they gonna do it ? why don't the playa haterz *** off to their own boards if they don't like what they readin this board for and why are you still reading ?

camk

too many baseball cap types on here now........cool geeza's who's English is based on Vodaphone texting ...its different, not sure its progress though....bigging ya mowta....FFS...I obviously don't get it as I'm not a playa

davyboy

Cat you really do come across as a dumb ***!

This thread is no more than a bit of banter - maybe that has gone over your clearly underused head.

FYI I used to own as Impreza, I got bored and bought a 951

I hang around this BBS as it's lively, I have met a few people, and it's more a car enthusiasts BBS nowadays,. and if it wasn't for the likes of us, you really would believe you own the fastest cars ever built (you don't, deal with it).

Unfortunately it's brain dead little oiks like you who seem to ruin what was a fun place to be.

Dave

CataIunya

Dave there was no need for a personal attack how can you call me brain dead you don't even know me, I would enter into a battle of wits with you but you're clearly unarmed.
Thats the kind of behavior that is brain dead....Just because I used a few terms like "Big Up" and "playa" i'm suddenly an oik.....I know its just banter thats why I (like most) like to stick in their proverbial oar from time to time and guys like you bite big time.....
My point was this a Subaru website so if people posting topics like the one started annoys you then you're in the wrong forum.

CataIunya

Oh and I love cars of all generations performance or not.....Just like you though I don't like people who say their car is the be all and end all, which incidentally was never mentioned or implied by myself.

CataIunya

Oh and I hate Baseball caps too, but that is a personal thing

davyboy

...huh, but my car is the best...........no?

Big up, check dis, for real, me feelin' it, nuff sed, respectin', keepin' it gangsta, chillin wiv me hoes, blunts, bitches and barretta's

Dave - Clearly fukcin' gansta

CataIunya

..... very adult reply there Dave, this is boring me now no more responses from me as you have just proved you are a fool.
