Someone might have 400 bhp under the bonnet but if u can't drive it's pointless, my ra is standard and nothing has beaten me yet to '70' other than my mates impreza, sure power obviously helps but if you can't handle it you'll be beaten most the time

^^^ True ^^^

That's why kiddies in their 500 BHP chavmobile scoobies struggle when up against me in my Honda ..... experience counts for a lot of power.

What happened next was not what i expected at all - I was at full throttle in 2nd and this wagon absolutely shot past me with ease. to say I was shocked was an understatement. I could hear what I thought was a mixture of turbo chatter and the rally style 'tweeting' dump valve coming from his car. I'd be really interested to find out what he had under there!

I dont often come accross other scoobies for some reason, but I was safe in the knowledge that they dont come 'much' faster than mine. Quite scary really.
that is the main reason i decided to buy a wagon ,they dont look as hardcore as the saloon imho ,but with a few decent mods they can shift,also most people see the uk cars and think they only have 215 bhp, but thats not always the case. Hopefully the next time you see any impreza you might show them a bit more respect .
I hope you never meet the one below on the open road

He also jumped ship years ago and bought a VRs Fabia.

We have a very stock looking Bugeye in here right now.
Seriously. Avoid, if you value your dignity.
