Why Buy GTI-R

[EVOBAD]

yes iv read that to ther isnt a hell of alot between these 3 cars in weight

yeah the lightest classic is the wrx non sti but that takes a lot of tuning and management to get power from. the sti's weigh 1300 kilos but the lightest sti is the ra at 1260.

the new scoobies weigh 5 kilos off 1500 !

the average evo weigh around 1360-1400 with rs about 1270.

Cheap normally means trouble! Could be expensive in the long run! Hopefully it's not though fella and you've got a gem!

the average evo weigh around 1360-1400 with rs about 1270.

Those weights are with the E4 onwards in mind though, with the earlier models being quite a bit lighter. And that RS figure would apply to the E4, E5 and E6. The E7, E8 and E9 RS are quite a bit heavier, at just over the 1300 Kg's mark iirc ?!

very true mate.

still not as light as our little r's though.

someone at work told me a joke about scoobies too.

whats the difference between hedgehogs and subaru's ?
hedgehogs have the pricks on the outside

scoobies are very good cars i used one for 6 months while i saved for my R my R was quicker than it scooby ran a 13 sec flat a couple of months ago and is std apart from vf22 turbo (because i blew the std one after 2 weeks) much nicer to drive than a R.

Although its been a while since i drove my R.

why buy a gti-r ?

Because you need a larger than average ornament in garden, driveway or garage. lol

 

[scottyd]

I totally agree, R's make fantastic ornments

yeah agreed jokes are accurate about scoobies i think most scoobie owners are pricks after going to a few meets with them drag days and dyno days.

i just love the scooby rumble.
