Wow, a poor quality video showing two people racing on what seems to be public roads.

I nearly wee'd with excitement.

The Subaru on the right pulls away from the mini.
Highly irresponsible driving if that's a public road.

That mini is supposably 150-160bhp according to its owner.

yet it runs an 17.8 second 1/4?

Im only running 118bhp yet mine will do a 1/4 in 14.6 seconds at just under 100mph and mines a heavy weight!

Vid filmed by an idiot, car owned by an idiot.

Yeah, the 17.8 was before the charger went on when it was a low compression 1380. It would wipe the floor with your 118hp.

And its a wrx, 2.0 turbo because we know the owner.

*slow sarcastic clap*

because its that easy to compair eh? the driver of the impreza is obviously a bit of a pussycat!

as for wiping the floor with the 118bhp....even more slow sarcastic clap needed, because you see...things like gearing dont count for anything! what FD has it got anyways because mines got bugger all top end but can get there fast as i need

For fast acceleration you need revs and lots of them really and low gearing.

mine will pull a good 7000 before the power starts dropping off.

so about 30 in 1st. 7000 revs.
30-50 in 2nd. 4500-7000
50-80 in 3rd 4600-7000
80- line 5300 up.

3.7 diff with cooper s gear ratios.

The power to weight ratio of my car is just a shade under 200bhp/tonne.
Your friend will be on around 220bhp/tonne. but it doesnt rev as high.

will even out.
