How can anyone disagree with the vids both Scoob drivers were sh!te. The Clio drive like the rest of us would, took full advantage and it wasnt difficult now lets be honest

Hardly Subaru bashing.
Correct!

I desperately wanted a Subaru - ended up buying a new bug eye (baaarp...mistake!)

It had a full decat-ITG filter and made apparantly 240bhp.

Here she is:



Sold it as it was too slow, bought a std 944 Turbo which was quicker out of the box.

My GF also has the Clio cup, and I claim that to be as fast as a bug eye.

This thread is funny just to hear the excuses, and the "no Clio will ever overtake me".

I am not knocking Subaru's at all. Fact is lesser spec UK cars have got slower, hot hatches have got quicker to the point that once moving, there really is not that much in it.

You guys are getting upset as you are in denial!

i am not stupid enough to think that my subaru is the fastest thing on th road - far from it. i have stated on this bbs that 30mph+ and the subaru will have a hard time with any of the 170+bhp hot hatches.

but for you two guys to continually slate the subaru on a large amount of threads at anyone time becomes boring and predictable to say the least.
With you om that one mate.... sound like a couple of turds!

nothing better to do than wind certain people up. Theie lives must be so interesting.... zzzzzz.... not!

So boring and predictable that you have to read it and reply. Slightly ironic.

I wouldn't say it's Subaru bashing (subaru owner bashing maybe) What I've said is pretty truthful - unless you'd like to point out something I've said that isn't? Truth always hurts doesn't it?

944 turbo is my fun car - I also have a MY00 Astra Sri for daily use.

And any Scooby can beat the Astra!

what a load of old crap classic STis break 14 secs all day long even with ****e drivers.My standard classic sti runs 13.1 thats with both cats still fitted .I suggest you clio fools put your max power away and get a grip on reality


So owning a clio sport makes him a "max power fool"?? considering the amount of classic scoobs in such publications, i suggest you need a grip on reality

Why cant people just take it that a clio can beat a scoob? good on him!

That was a typical answer you get on here, "my cars better than yours, so i'm right about everything"

LOL,

It amazes me the people that find this type of post tedious, still feel the need to read and reply.

Bit like watching TV, then complaining about it lol.

Did I ever tell the story where I raced and beat a WRX round the twisties - in my ex's Lupo?

It's true

Dont get me on my fave subject, could be another 20 pages!

The only 968 CS worth getting IMO is the one with M030 the suspension option, and they are fairly rare.

My car is like a 944 Turbo CS

yawn
yep, we have had enough of your stupid comments


To summarise this thread.....

Doesnt matter what car it is, it's all down to how good the driver is

A well driven clio sport will beat a badly driven scoob round a country road, off the lights etc, much the same as a well driven scoob will beat a badly driven Porsche Turbo (talking new model 4wd). Big deal!!!!


Now lets all go and start another stupidly pointless thread on "my car is better than yours"

Thing is davyboy a 968 CS is much more appealling to a thread like this than a flaming Clio... all be it a fast Clio.

Scoob would take too long and you'd probably write off the clio when it hit you.

After being at Santa Pod for the japshow, personally i`d jump in front of a black supra

at least then it doesnt matter which lane you stand in!!!!

Tony... erm... didn't you use to have an RB5 ? (or am I thinking of someone else who posted that 500+ times). Solid rear bulkhead and all that ?

In case you didn't notice (I wouldn't accuse you of reminding us ad nauseum what kinda car you have) I was talking about the 265 PS STi.

Clear ?
