An apology

I cannot believe how many anti scoob or anti having the oocasional bit of fun lobbyists there are on this site.
People like that really get up my nose.
You all profess to never ever speed or break the occasional traffic law but you all do it. Please stop professing to be so bloody perfect.
If you don't like the impreza sod off to another site dead simple.
A note to the OP. It is good fun when you come up against a suitable adversary especially when you show them up. I had the exact same experience as I exited a roundabout onto a long dual carriage way the other day with an EVO FQ340. I let him stay level for a little while then I waved and cleared off. Admittedly I have a hundred horses or so more than him but he wasnt to know that
Its good fun if and only if traffic and conditions permit.
We aren't all boy racers that go flying through villiages trying to show everyone how great we are. Its also about time the perfect amongst you made that distinction.

Hear, hear! Although I must admit, I think the anti- putting your foot down brigade's rans must be having an insideous effect, as the other day I decided to put some distance between myself and a Focus ST that was attempting to hump my bumper on a clear dual carriageway. I dissappeared off, then a rather strange thing happened.

I felt a bit daft and ashamed of myself
even though it was really just a bit of harmless fun and making a point that I didn't appreciate being tail-gated (is that even a word) 
Responsible owners are quite capable of exercising appropriate discretion about when it's safe to play and when it's time to behave! The anti-speed lobby don't like that though, as in their estimation, such discretion is dangerous and should be removed!

Came up against a VXR8 the other day. He had some impressive poke, but also nearly two tons of pig iron to drag around 
It makes a big difference And have you seen their fuel consumption

Plus these --
-- at the end of someone's post, mean they are only having a laugh.If you want to speed, go on a Track day.
Speed limits are there for a reason. Remember, speed kills.
Yes. That is Sarcasm

My Hero 
He's probably just got back to the office and is now telling the tale of coming up behind some Chav in one of those sh*tty Jap rice boxes, and how the driver kept looking in his rear view mirror wanting him to race. He'll then tell them that said Chav put his foot down and pulled away to the amazement of a bunch of school kids who were near by. He'll continue to tell them that he'll bet that at this point the same guy is boasting about it on some website.
You now own his *rse

"rice crispy packet." cheers.

Some people on this site haven't got a clue. Who said we didn't like Imprezas? I for one wouldn't have bought one if I didn't think it wasn't one hell of a car.
However, I am not totally deluded to think that the Impreza is the best car, or even the fastest, on the road. I appreciate good cars when I see and sometimes drive them and the Monaro happens to be a cracking car. It's not as good as the Hawkeye though.
And as to this race malarky, it was completely unbalanced. The Impreza in question is highly modded, the monaro was likely standard.

so according to you, it was balanced as long as he had loads more bhp and torque,but totally unbalanced just because i had more???
Don't forget who pushed first.
AND LIGHTEN UP,it's only a bit of fun!!!

Honestly though, how much money have you thrown at your engine and gearbox?
Then think of what would hapopen if someone threw the same amount of money on the engine of Monaro. I'm pretty sure wheelspin in 4th gear will not be everyones cup of tea though
<whispers quietly>
But you'd probably still own a Monaro on 0-60 time at this cruddy time of year with a 240bhp classic shape Impreza...unless its the very rare 4wd coupé 4 (HSV badged - of course )

You can pick up a fully loaded '06 VXR for £22K now if you look hard enough (although plenty of traders will try and push them on at £25K+ ).
But £14K will get a CV8 as a project car to throw money on brakes, suspension, engine etc.

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,sometimes you dont bother at all.
but you always enjoy the drive. and you will always be tempted to give it some at some point. my wrx is bog standard, and makes me laugh even when the carrera 4s waves as he goes past.
life is a cruel bitch to give me this car. no mods and empty pockets.
lol
