Anyone had a go at a scooby yet? - VXRonline.co.uk

 

the scooby must be double the weight of a corsa.

 

I dont really understand why they are pleased if they beat a scoob, i mean,ours are 2 litre turbos,astra vxr is a 2 litre turbo ????

i had a scooby whip my **** not long ago so its all down to if its standard or tuned etc i guess

 

i agree mate. ave u seen them fiat abarth 500s. they are 1.4s pushing out 150bhp. light as hell. i bet theyd be quick in standard form

 

i'm not scared

 

It seems most on there are running stage 2 or 3 so hardly fair to plus "it has STi injectors" IIRC the 2.5 WRX and STi injectores are the same. Turbo FWD, great in the dry, on a straight road, already rolling!

 

my Cooper S was as quick as a vxr although it is pulley'd and mapped

 

they need something to fell good about.....lol
i'd like them to try me on a twisty road...
i'll be beeping as they ditch it...haha

 

Sounds like at least one of them knows the score...

 

the astra vxr is a very nice nippy motor but is very twitchy on twisties !! its no match for the power and handling of the scooby!! i should know as i av both lol !!

 

Mate iv seen ur car dont think you have any reason to be lol

 

+one

 

The OP on that thread appears to have a Corsa VXR, the topic is posted in the Corsa VXR section.
His standard Corsa VXR kept up with a wrxrunning 290bhp/305lbs

 

just noticed the thread lower down on about 2litre engines so presumed woz astra vxr as the corsa as a 1.6l engine i believe!! anyhow would still prefer the scoob!

 

you get more kudos for owning a scoob lol

 

At least someone on there is sticking up for us!

 

i remember the first vxr i saw im my old wrx. As i passed him in 3rd gear i thought mmm they are pretty quick. that was coming off a roundabout (me behind) onto a long straight. He did start to catch the 4 or so car lengths up once i hit my 112 limiter
rolling road @261bhp 93 wrx. back in 2006 : should of never sold that car.

 

The fact is the vxr is a new car which costs ££££££!!! and you can go buy a scoob for 2K that will not only stay with it but has superior handling!

come on guys power is not everything

 

Hi tweaks need these vxr thing's to came out with the boys from emley moor to home moss this will split the boy's from the girls lol

 

if corsa was so good they put it up against the scooby in wrc. anyway lads watch out. vauxhall is about

 

It's a funny read that thread, typical bull**** posts!

 

I'm pretty confident aswell

 

..... and don't mention to them that Corsa VXR's are girls cars!!!

 

one more thing for the astra vxr is thats it.. really Its just a vxr that can compete with a standard wrx and thats about it. Thats what the owners need to realise. And not for much longer either with the power getting upped on the wrxs in standard form. Also from a standing start i dont think it could cope well at all. There nice cars an all that but the subaru impreza is far superior in pretty much every aspect imo

 

also mate the astra vxr is pushing out now about 240bhp. its 2009 an is that the best they have done? wasnt the wrx doing that 10-15 yr ago. haha. there boasting about racing with classic cars. put them against the new cars now

 

 

Well HELLO........ you guys missed something....... did anyone notice how easy and FAST you could click around that site ? No stupid delays waiting for things to load ?

 

+1

 

didn't think you would be mate, my car feels so slow after going in yours.

torque seems a bit low for a 2.5

 

They should give a classic with 290bhp a race rather than a lardy newage Nice to see we are still the benchmark for young pillocks to aspire to beat.

What is the stage 2 / 3 thing? Reminds me of those dodgy chips sold on ebay!!!
