When i was running 235hp i had a VERY close race with a 290hp WRX, killing him would of taken something special. Was off the line though.

An Impreza is gonna have a massive advantage off the line over most FWD escorts due to the 4wd. notSteveS2 nice to hear you beat a scooby with that power, I'm not going to have that much power but still willing to give one a go.

Its all relative,300bhp in a car thats weighed down by subs and seats may only stand the same chance as a 250bhp one thats been on a diet!

Dont forget the losses of a 4x4 transmission over 2wd. My mate had a 93 WRX Impreza with a front mount intercooler, exhaust with no cats, chip etc running 16 psi and he couldn't shake me when I was runningmy S2 at 18psi. Since then I've gained a bit more boost and the cars been on a diet.

I now have ample Scooby kills under my belt

Nice one! , at least the guy had respect for you and didnt start rolling out the usual shit of the clutch was slipping / wasnt boosting right / I missed a gear / any old excuse to cover up his embarassment! lol

A Subaru or EVO dosen't come with driving skills or technical skills. So against a sorted scooby or evo with a skilled driver, no chance.

Yeah as said don't take too much skill in a straight line, and a well setup scooby or evo will flatter most drivers anyway in the twisties.
