shao_khan Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 So I'm sat here watching Golf vs Scooby. Accordign to VBH - Scooby is faster acceleration, faster out of a corner, great handling, good brakes and on fastest part of the circuit the car is 10mph faster than the golf - and yet the golf is 3 seconds quicker around the track..... So this leads me to believe that if the Scooby is better in all those areas then VW have developed somekind of temporal shift technology? She does talk rubbish....

cruiser647 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 But which one does she prefer? I'm not watching (I forgot to be honest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 She didn't say. Presumably they're giving the winner away at the end of the programme and Subaru UK told them to f*ck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 nah - they are giving away a Mitsu Evo 6 Tommy ed. The Golf was best as it was fastest...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I stopped watching at the first ad break. Nice car that Tommi Mak Evo. Although it does sort of shout "PLEASE NICK ME!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 It wasn't a GTI they were running against the Scooby was it? Wouldn't surprise me if it was quicker - they all are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayerbloke Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Apparently, they rather slated the Lotus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khutula Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 What a shocking programme - it was bad enough before this shoot out, but that was just crazy. Handled better, much faster and accelerated quicker - on the power sooner - and yet slower round the track. What a load of nonsense. As mentioned before think Fifth Gear is a dreadfully boring programme that has no real content. I'll not go out of my way to watch it anymore.

Cuprabob Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Apparently, they rather slated the Lotus? [/ QUOTE ] Plato said it had some flat spots. The handling was such that it wouldn't get the tail out, just spin the inside wheel and commented the ergonomics were terrible. But apart from that he liked it The "shoot out" every week is just embarassing, I don't honestly know what they are think about. I'm aware it's a blatant copy of the Top Gear test track laps but just doesn't work like it does in TG. At least only one more to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 VBH hates all wheel drive cars - always has done. The WRX was doomed to fail from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Was I the only person that thought the scooby looked like it had really soft suspension and very little grip in the corners. Its that that killed the laptime, in comparison the GTI looked very flat and composed even despite the power difference and the ability to pull the car out of the corner earlier.
