So who has been the fastest in an Impreza and any pictures to prove it?

 

I have done 150mph in mine but no way could i take any picturs cos I don't wanna incriminate myself with the evidence, but you can ask my son cos he was with me at the time.
Cheers
Colin

 

Forgot to say I am not talking about public roads just the private stretch of the M1 everyone seems to have in there back garden!

 

I have pushed over 150mph, still had a bit left, I am sure 160 would have been possible (if my ***** were big enough!).

On a private test track.

Touched 150 mph in Germany,and it was no where near red line.But the fuel guage was!!!!

 

155mph(on a runway!!),1000rpm left,didnt want to go past 160mph limit,scared it would damage needle!!
not sure what actual would be,its about ten%less isnt it?
vroom!steve

 

My GPS unit has a top speed recorded of 167.8mph, achieved on a moderate downhill gradient (on the autobahn of course). I've seen about 163mph GPS measured on the main straight at Bruntingthorpe. Both in a P1 with the Prodrive exhaust.

P.S. the speedometer is out by about 8-9mph at these speeds - my speedo was reading off the clock (i.e. reading approx 165) at about 156mph.

What's the top speed of a UK spec Impreza?

 

My needle twisted around the end stop

Excuse me guys.......

But not really the kind of topics we want to be promoting, is it.

I managed 72 on the M3

 

Shaun,

Who cares. As long as its not on the public highway.

Why have a fast car if you ain't gonna drive it quick.

So all these guys do them on private test tracks!!!!

Yeah right!!!

 

had my uk impreza just over 150mph, zorst and air filter thats all. but been in brothers M3 with the 155mph restrictor bypast and that touched 175mph!!! dont care how far the needle is out at that speed, it felt friggin fast to me! just add we have a long driveway. LOL

 

70mph of course

I would n't take the p155.

 

25 mph flat out!! in reverse full diff lock.

 

25mph in reverse? becarefull graham you might start a argument "my car is faster than yours!" but in reverse. they argued about everything else! LOL

 

I though the speedo doesn't read anything whilst going backwards.
Did you know that a scooby can get from 0-60 faster than a Boeing 747.

 

0-60 faster than a boeing! thats easy.

but try beating the animal to 400mph

 

pbone, you shouldnt be looking at the speedo when going backwards, could spell trouble

 

Not really appropriate discussion topic for a public BBS, so it'g getting closed....
