there are two scooby's just around my town and the only reason why i respect those cars is their lovely SOUND when their passing by.

Scooby's may go round corners very well, but the engines still suck.

A guy i know owns a wrx, all standard car, not to much abused. 1st engine went at 25.000 km, 2nd engine went at 70.000 km. Both were a melted piston.

Rhys,

Why say that?

I've seen a Sport do some very cool things in the hands of the right person.
Rich we talking about a Sport non turbo etc?

If so i thought they are crap, been out in one and didnt impress me. but i suppose they would be better just chucking it around the lanes etc. But i dunno i cant help think why didnt they pay the bit extra Ł and get the turbo

do something about it!! hope anyways!

Scooby owners all seem to think they own the fastest car ever dont they?
(yes i know they are faster than my car, lol)
You cant be serious about the engine desing.The YB is a 100 times better than that farm yard thing:Proper crank,rods,pistons,head,turbo,block and a nice ecu to mess with.

They dont sound good either,very strained at the top end.The grpA rally engines however sound like a conventinal 4 cyl because they have proper turbos ect.
