7200rpm?? Try 8k! it only starts to drop off (slightly) at 7,800rpm. Yes of course, no point in having a 2WD v's 4WD debate, I'd go no where fast if its damp. However if I can catch a Scoob mid-range in the dry then I can pull away. At 70mph in 3rd gear (we both slowed down for the speed camera) I booted it and so did a K plate 911 Carrera (about 300+bhp?) at the same time and I pulled away from him! I can also more than stay with a sorted (280+) Scoob on the twisties. My mate had a white STI Type R V5 and although he pulled away from standstill, as soon as we got on the dualler I had him!
You have to laugh, me and my mate certainly did when I can wave in my rear view mirror at a 911 as it drops back! Guy's face was a picture.
Believe me, it IS as quick as the spec, I have the times to prove. I'll never compete over the 1/4 mile due to launching it, but i usually always have a higher terminal speed and I'm gaining on it by the end of the strip. If only I could launch it better

If your brave enough, try launching the 205 in second if it's got a close ratio box, will cut down on the wheelspin but you run the risk of F'ing the clutch etc.

p.s. Top for a nice wee mota

Not saying its not quick, but why come onto a scoob site and call your car a scooby killer?.
Did you goto the MLR site and do the same?.
Anyway, my mate GS has built a 300bhp corsa, yip 300bhp. ok its a corsa, but will waste most bikes never mind cars.
good luck with the sale.

Don't know if I'd buy it, but certainly would love a shot of it.
The specs looks like it would be an absolute hoot!!
Good luck with the sale mate, ye'll miss it when it's gone.

Sounds like a bit of baiting going on here

John, well i hate to say!, was told 400 was as easy as 350, some gems, injectors, fuel pump, and custom s/s sorst, and a couple of hours of BRD.
You ready to rock the rollers big man?

So you agree that I am correct then. Hence it is a scooby beater.
