Owned by a Scirroco
Ok how fast are these things because I've just had my backside kicked big time. Just a plain white new shaped Scirroco made me feel like a I was driving an FSO. He also never lifted on Chesterfield Bypasses bad bend at the colledge in the wet. Feel Pig Sick TBH my cars only a standard classic wagon but that's totally surprised me

There quick even in standard form.
my father in law has a 210bhp TSI and it's got Revo so it's 270BHP, standard it's was 0-60 6.9 so it will be better then that now!
Also they handle really well!
If it was a R version then I think there 265bhp standard! That with Revo is 305bhp
The diesel version is 170bhp standard and with Revo is just under 200BhP
So don't feel to bad lol

So 220bhp roughly?
Less around 25% for transmission loss leaves you approx 165

I'm guessing your cars around ten years old at least, and you are surprised at getting your **** kicked by a new Scirocco?
Maybe ten years ago you had a quick car, nowadays almost any hot hatch or anything else for that matter can kick you're ar$e.

As for getting spanked by the Vdub, as above your probably running around the 140 bhp mark in reality and if you have crap tyres and dodgy geo, you got no chance against a new 200+ bhp car and there's plenty of other cars that will hand you your **** too, spend a grand on yours in the right places and it will be a different story though.

You've obviously not seen his Mrs, you'd want it to be from the back to give yourself a chance of getting a stiffy, personally I wouldn't do her with yours.

Other makes and models have caught up and even passed Subaru, even front wheel drive cars with trick diffs and things will give an STi a run for it's money.
The age of the Evo and Impreza kicking ***** on the road has been and gone.

Some of these newer cars are bloody quick, an STi had around 280(ish) ten years ago, an STi still has around 280(ish) but so does alot of other things nowadays.

I'm just looking forward to owning something turbo charged with 4WD! The wagon part was me stretching the buying brief to the missus!

Once you move towards the 400 BHP mark things can get expensive, move towards the 500 mark and it gets silly, but the fun factor is immense!

I Do all my own work nothings an issue infact there is one Helen hates me rebuilding heads on the kitchen work surface for some reason but it was cold outside.

The Blob Wagon PPP is just a quick ish practical daily that does ok for what it cost £4k, it's you Lardy Blob sti fanboys that think you've got the fastest thing on 4 wheels, when in reality you can't beat a WRX PPP to 60mph and would struggle to pass one on anything but the longest of straight roads at about 120mph, then the drag from the carlos fandango spoiler would see the WRX passing you at 150mph.

Not really, but that's what the Type R is for.

I get parts from him when I need them fast(5mins up the road) and he always has time to tour my boy around the race cars, every so often he has some very nice classics for sale and have heard good things about the warranty with them 2 but when the time's right I'll travel for the right R/RA.
