perhaps thedrivers of these scoobys and m3s dont want to waste there time racing a 17year old escort....

most of the scoobys made after 97 are capable of running o-60 in 5.5 seconds or less (the sti will do it in 4.9 as standard) and those are figures for standard cars (how many standard scoobys have you seen???). as far as im awarethere is only one or two rs turbos able to run 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

it stands to reason that the drivers of these cars are either very shit or dont wanna race...
I doubt he raced him from a standing start and im sure if its a rolling start then a S2 with 250bhp will give most UK spec scoobys a run for there money!
Thank you Gary

Once rolling most Impreza's run out of puff. I've never raced an M3 in the Fiesta, only ever in the Escort. And there are dozens of Subaru's round here. Most of which appear to be standard. Mate of mine owned a 270bhp 94 WRX and he has admitted that once rolling he can't keep up. It's simple good old fashioned power to weight
