199.4 MPH a record ?

[andrew_forrest]

I usually live in the Scottish forum but thought I'd also post on here to see if anyone is aware of the current world record for top speed on an Impreza ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today we had a Scoob v EVO shootout at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.

It proved one thing, Scoobs are faster and more reliable than EVO's

Or at least they certainly were today.

I ran 197mph then 198mph next run, then 199.4mph and we ran out of time to try again !

Now, where can I find that last 0.6 mph

(with hindsight, I think dropping off my 11 stone passenger may just have done it !)

What did the Saxo sorry Evo do...

[andy mac]

nice going there andy ! you'll be taking over mcrae for improving the impreza image soon!

[type r pete]

hi andy, thats fantastic mate. incidently, whats the weight of the car.

[johns]

Superb results Andy

I don't know what the world record for the fastest top speed in an Impreza is, but you are probably not far off if you haven't claimed it. I recall a video from a few years ago from New Zealand I think with a white Jun car that did similar (190mph) speeds but on a closed public road. That looked very scary!

I'm sure with a little bit of work you'll top the magic 200mph mark

Maybe that's how he can get the extra 0.6mph
