The best thing about the Scooby WRX is that you could in theory beat it in an astra van!!

They only have a top speed of about 120mph... after that its goodbyeeeeee :drool:

Should be a breeze in the R32 anyway, so I am defo looking forward to that :cool:

I don't believe a standard GTi is better at going round corners than the Ed30, but I do think the Ed30 could be improved on with the bigger brakes from the Leon Cupra and bigger intercooler from the S3.

I wonder how the new Impreza STi would fair round the same track as the Edition 30? One would have to assume that they would be closer time wise with the bigger bhp differential, the STi's bigger brakes etc.

'it was the driver' 'the engine wasn't run-in' 'rolling starts were at different speeds'

Would we be making the same excuses? probably not.. wouldn't be as embarassing for a scooby to mince a GTI on a track.
