Never been into Scoobs, always understood their unquestionable ability, raced a few in my various cars on various roads, some wins many losses, scoob drivers seem to have the edge in the ball department!
Was gonna get the mini GP for track toy, but think it looks silly and would annoy me having it on my drive. Then toyed with the 350z, but some very helpful guys on the 350z site warned me off it due to the weight, great gt car but no track day stormer in standard guise. Looks ok.
Then logging into pistonheads I see the RB320, as black and meanacing as Darth Vadar! Smitten! Will be happy to leave it on my drive in front of the garages like a nasty child eating guard dog guarding my pride and joy that s locked inside!
Should zoom round a track (my driving with obviously slow IT down) in standard form, and cope as my day to day mule in place of the trusty golf diesel.
Calls made.
Deposit paid.
Wait begins.

Happy.

Good work, they look awesome, and i'm sure will be collectable like the RB5.

Thats quite some stable of cars you've got there, very nice! (though i'd get a challenge rear grille for the 360...)

Thanks Beef!
Challenge grill looks wrong on my car, cant have silver blue and black, makes it look messy!
Stable has taken some time to get, needs some subtle changes but if at some stage I have my spider joined by a v12 (575) I'll be moonwalking!

PeterPeter, looks like they got inspiration for the rb320 from your scooby!

black on black does look mean...but i had to choose that scheme, because my wife detested the blue gold standard colours

Once you get you car, make sure you track it.and tell me when you do!

Good buy on the RB320, make sure you get the geometry checked on the car.

Also are you one of the first few to collect from the Prodrive factory? with the VIP treatment?

The only thing i have with the front grill is i think the lower mesh should be setback a few inchs, to give a better depth to the lower bumper.

That certainly is some collection you have there cool

I'm assuming the Quattro Turbo is a UR Quattro??

Should be at home with an RB320

Stevie B, Geometry changed???
PeterPeter, its being bought for the track, track a-hoy!
Glynmo, not had confirmation yet but order has been registered, number I would have wanted gone so told dealer to put anything down. (child like dummy throwing!)
Turbotastic, she's a 1987 car (10v not the 20v) been in family since new, 90k miles and still zooms round the hills well.

Thats a nice example. A friend of mine has a 1987 10v in Tornado Red, but its had a hard life, and is showing its age

Still sounds glorious though

BAsically get the ca to powerstation or other subaru tuning specialist for a full Geometry setup.

Imprezas are well know for having strange setups on delivery.

You can also get the geometry set up more aggressively (or you could on the P1).

Had a call from my dealer at the weekend. Pick my car up from Prodrive on 17 March, with a full action day on the test circuit etc. Can't wait!

Anyone know of any 320s delivered to customers? I'm hearing rumours of engines being down on power confused

If its a prodrive tuned model, it almost certainly will be down on power.

Relieved to say the rumour is rubbish. No cars delivered yet.

Why do you say the engine will be down on power if it's Prodrive tuned? My P1 still feels as though it's got all its gee-gees at 6+ years and 45000 miles old.
