You must have more than a remap to get to 310 bhp.

Oh and he wasn't trying.End of fairytale.

seems a bit odd as i have had a little play with a new tuscan s and we were the same neck and neck from a rolling start in 2nd up to cough 70mph,mine is a 420hp type ra so a little lighter than a uk turbo and i was trying lol would like to think i would have got away from him in a standing start but who no's or care's lol, have to agree with alan i dont think he was giving it its all.

Tuscan S is 400bhp isn't it & probably lighter than a Scoob he can't have been trying

According to here:

2001 TVR Tuscan S technical specifications and data - 2 door 4 litre (3996 cc) S6 395.4 PS - Carfolio.com car specifications pages

Tuscan S is 354bhp per tonne, 0-60 in 3.9s & 0-100 in 8.9s ... will need a tasty Scoob to live with that

A solid 310bhp should be more than a match for a Tuscan from a standing start into 3 figures.

Also, driver input accounts for a lot too

You would need more than a remap for 310bhp though.

I had a v3 sti with a vf34 and decat, that was it and it kept up with one up until 3 figures. But even then it wasn't getting away quickly.

This was on the Autobhan by the way.

No harm in trying bud as Scoobs will demolish 99% of cars on the road Just leave them Tuscans alone!
