I had a ride in Harvey's wife's Vectra that Harvey had been "playing with" about three months before he passed away.
****, that thing was quick. 280 bhp......

Once it was on the move, mash the throttle and it would hit a ton in no time.

Sure can be. I think the OP came across a remapped example, over 300 lb torque is quite easily extracted out of the 1.9 8v derv engine

We've an impreza with PPP and a MkI Fabia Vrs with a Jabbasport Stage 1.

I think the impreza has about 90bhp more, but in gear shift I'd say there's little in it. Great little car, will never sell it... Still prefer the scoob though! :-)

Muppet for even trying while all your family is in the car - clear road no cars? - What about if you had a blow out? ******* div!

anyway a remapped vRS are stupidly full of torque, doesnt surprise me to be honest.

by the sound of it you dont need advice on mods, what you need is to let your wife drive.

Subaru's arent the fastest car in the world

FFS get a grip guys , it's not what you would call a race , guy puts his foot down , another car keeps up , that's it
I would say at least 50% on here ( at least ) have driven above the speed limit ,
And then use the old chestnut " it was safe to do so "

B***ocks , so on all of these safe occasions no other traffic was on the road
And everyone on every occasion had the road to themselves

I wonder how you get through the day with such sensationalist caution
This is what the OP posted in another post.


Hang on guys, I was simply over taking quickly and safely I was not racing or playing about, I never said that. I actually backed off and let the skoda past and I went back down to about 60. Am I wrong in thinking its safer to over take quickly and safely? Or to overtake slowly and just get passed in the nick of time?
