dude compare say a 330bhp scooby and a 330bhp saff cossie the cossie would eat it i say this because the yb makes more torque the gearing is better and HEY the cossie is yet like near 20years old .. why is it that a cossie that is 20 years old STILL eats scoobys. . yes cossies eat boxes etc but so do scoobys. scoobys engines arent that strong either but i admit they look good . iv had a p1 [brothers] and it didnt even beat my escort at 280 bhp now its alot more than that. subarus are a disease now you see them everywhere ! i wouldnt mind one if u give me it free though lol
Cheers,

My mate had a 320bhp P1 and my old 2wd saff was 330bhp. Off the line he pissed on me but be the end of the quarter mile I was catching him like f*ck. He done 13.2@99mph and I done 13.3@110mph

Very silly thing to say, if someone put the money into a cos like Andy has with an impreza, they'd do similar times. Its all good saying you know of a subaru running so and so times on the 1/4 mile, but this is the real world

But correct, comparing extreme examples is nonsense

Why do threads like this go way way off topic...!...if you take the figures that the thread started with and answer on that basis...
So has I think the torque on the Subaru is low I would expect the cosworth to once rolling would take the win....I'm not really convinced on the actual power and torque stated as the Subaru should have more torque iirc.... But on the very basis of what he's quoted the the Cossie would do it.

Not sure about uk scoob but my twinscroll jdm got those figures with nothing more than a cat back exhaust and a remap, cost about £600 all in and the gearbox and clutch is more than upto the job, cossie however will be quicker at higher speeds but scoob quicker initially so over quarter mile I would say scoob then cossie would overtake once upto higher speed. But in reality not enough in it to worry about both cars would be quick

as said depends on the drag, both in standard form ( 40bhp between them ) the scooby is 6 seconds quicker to 125mph, if the scooby is 350 and cossie 320 still 30bhp between them, not going to close the gap of 6 seconds that much i don't think, not sure how it would go after that as said i don't believe the torque figure is anywhere near correct.
Just do a vid and post it

If it's a sti with a close ratio box it should beat the cosworth but as said above it depends on driver
I've raced shit loads of them and they always have mummy's boys driving
There was a guy round my way the kept saying his was 400bhp and I left him for dead in a proper nms built 360bhp and 378lbs escos
But I did hit the limiter and drop clutch lol
But the main thing I always find in the Subaru crowd is they all bull shit figures
But I would love a 400bhp sti great cars if set up right

The cossie might eat its box but the subapoi will melt its chocolate pistons.
Tbh though it all depends on the driver.
Has anyone seen Wenny launch his cars he has raced.Ive never seen anyone launch a 4x4 like he does.

Testing the future
why take off a badge that it came with to distinguish it from lesser models to please you? would you take your gay rs and cosworth badges off?
