Cars compared to the scoob
 
Hi guys not interested in changing the scoob just a couple of thoughts that you wise people could settle for me.

Im going to name some cars i really want and could you just say a little about what they where like and how they compare to the scoob. Iv got a 4door classic for comparison if necessary;

1. Skyline R32 twin turbo
2. Skyline R34 v-spec (dribble)
3. Supra twin turbo
4. Escort Cosworth
5. Focus RS (old shape)
6. Impreza type 25 (dribble)

Might add to the list as i remember things dont forget i know these badboys are near the elite but would just like to know what it would be like owning one.

I think i would definately want the R34 though :)

Cheers guys

Not on your list but really enjoyed Metro Group B only had it for a month, on loan.:brickwall:
Turbo was mental, Brakes very good, Like driving a rocket powered Kart
Main dislike was the Cam pulleys the other side of a sheet of plexiglass just behind your head. needed constant fettling to keep in tune

I've owned the R32 twin turbo and its alot more fragile feeling when driving, also it might just have been my car but it wass always needing little things done, sparks, leads, actuator sticking, ecu faults, dials not working. Fast car but much rather have the subaru for having fun on a daily basis.

Had a r32gtr for two years mate, fast car but you need deeeeep pockets to run one, even a fairly standard one will drink fuel more than a scoob. They do not handle anything like a scoob either. I now have a 03 wrx and would not change back.

I've had a classic STi IV and the T25. The T25 is a much more "grown up" car - more comfortable, heavier, and feels slower than the classic.

Until you look at the speedo :)

Escort Cosworth will feel slow if standard

Apart from the R34 I would love to own a car that handled really well doesn't go bang when on a run, has enough power to put a smile on my face & look's the nuts, OMG
Ive got just the thing my EVO Ha! Ha! :drive:

Focus RS old shape is rubbish compared to the new shape one
