Amusing how many people who have never experienced 160mph know so much about it. ;)

TBH the one thing i am suprised with is nobody has expressed concern about being so close to a Nova at these speeds. That speed in a Subaru is worring, but in a Nova must be a definate change of underpants afterwards!!!

I am :D and I love it :D (stupid enough to do 150+)

Didnt say where though ;)

The petulent child who started this thread seemed to instigate it to say the Nova he had a spat with was rather fast :notworthy
He didnt race it up to 150 or 160 because if he had, (on the A road which he names in the title of the thread) he would qualify for the absolute w@nker of the millenium award...:cuckoo:
He forgot this was a Subaru forum and unlikely he would find the driver of the car on here or any of his 17 year old friends (although someone did pop on and pretend to be the chap concerned).
I'm sure all of us have exceeded the speed limit in our time, but to have some n0b coming on here bragging about 150 mph races is bound to get anyone with a brain a bit rattled :rolleyes:
Its you sir who should be getting the bus, before you wipe out someone mending a puncture at the side of the road, or a cyclist, or a drunk who's staggered into the road (all of which can happen on quiet roads at any time BTW)...:nono:
Hopefully it will just be spilt diesel and a tree you come into contact with next time...:thumb:
We can put a post in the general section for comiserations to the tree :lol1:

the voice of reason :notworthy
and for the record i am a "trained" driver ;) and have exceeded 150+ on more than one or 2 occasions

So anybody spotted this Nova then?

And because you are a trainer driver that stops the changes of a blow-out at those sort of speeds?

How do you 'train' to drive at 150mph BTW?

I really can't see how you can slate someone for doing those speeds and it then comes out you have done them yourself :cuckoo:

At tracks ;) never on the road :nono:
so less of the :cuckoo:

Wow, not many tracks in the UK where you can get to 150mph ;)

Enless it was just a long runway, which wouldn't really class it as advanced driving. Even a blind man can go fast in a straight line, as 5th Gear proved. :D

Very true but plenty of A roads apparently
anyway I am happy with my driving credentials both on track and road thankyou

:D

so when i show this picture whats your thoughts???????

Settle down children...... settle down

First of all i NEVER said i was big or clever for doing what i did..

If you wingers look back at the start of this thread you will notice i was interested in another car that impressed me... obviously not allowed on scabbynet:wonder:

Moley, thanks for seeing the right side of the coin mate at least there are a few here that are real people and not PC robots.

Also i would appreciate it if the keyboard hero with the alias could tell their opinions in their real username.

You seem to have more knoledge of high end speed than Mr Andy Green so maybe you could give us the pleasure and remind us of the rest of the highway code :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

People like you give it all the billy big balls when you have an opinion, and hide behind your ID :hjtwofing

I didnt post in an alias when i declared what happened did i?

Besides all speedos are out so the indicated 163 could well of been 70 for all i know:hjtwofing

Thread closed :cuckoo:

WE AGREE ON SOMETHING :luxhello:

:sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

I think i said thread closed :wonder:

:wonder: Really :norty:

Never understood people with alias's myself :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :Suspiciou

I bet youre a woman,

typical.... has to have the last word :cuckoo:

Dont you bloody start :lol1:

STUPID AND A SEXIST :Whatever_

Just to relive you all, including "heard it all be-BORE":sleep: .....

ive found the car

Lets just say at least this little thing has the go to match the show, its clearly no lash up job.

Looks like a bit of a beast mate :cool:

thats the one i saw on the dual carrigeway in wickford...pics explain what all the noise was about :D

Its running an external wastegated setup so given the quality of the rest of the car i would be suprised if this was less than 300bhp which is easily achieveable on that engine.

Its was a stunning little bit of kit :D <<<<<< THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS THREAD!!

lol and you are a bad boy...don't forget that part ;)

Slaps myself on the wrist :iamwithst

TBH it is probably at least 330bhp. Chip, fuel pressure reg, FMIC and hybrid turbo is all that is need for that power on that engine. (Thats the setup my friend has in his Mk2 Astra Turbo). 'Interesting' to drive with all the power going through the front wheels!!!
