Default scoob in autoexpress survey

hello chaps, just been flicking through Autoexpresss in the office , and its got a driver power supplement thingy in it.. the scooby came in at 37 and the **** take is that the nissan 350 z beat it in the "best performance category"..

the s2000 won overall... with the octavia 2nd. i really like them, esp the vrs, slap a chip on it and you aheva crackign q-car..

The VRS is a great piece of kit:

The 20v 1.8T is a great block.

A work collegeue has got a highly modified vRS track car, Check this out:

I bet !!.

Probs need to live near to a tyre retailer I'm guessing for the frequent front replacements.

With a mere 231 bhp and 251 lbf my Octavia vRS can be a bit of a beast to get off the line on a wet/greasy road

Once it's on the move it's a different matter - the torque curve is almost flat between 2000 rpm and 5800 so the grunt in 3rd and 4th is amazing

Nothing wrong with a 350z mate, i own one now after i had a MY02 WRX.far better build quality and totally better all round car IMO.

my other cars an ibiza 1.8T 20v and you reckon its fast in the skoda, try it in a little hatch back lol. Mines running 260bhp @ 240ft/lbs clutch power without the nitrous............i need to get a new clutch for it now, mines broken.

your right about having trouble getting the power down through two wheels, thats why i bought the scooby.
