An Audi A8 W12 6.0i they look like a basic business commuter motor but top end nearing 200mph and I found out the hard way. Dont race one what ever your impreza BHP has it will make your big sweaty ***** shrink!!!

When I was young my mother's Citroen 2CV was very fast down our farm track, easily beating our Ferguson tractor!

The vw passat R36 is a pretty good quality car. Also the legacy 3.0 b spec r. The mazda 6 MPS is also a really good car.
As much as I like my lairy, noisy impreza, I have always had a soft spot for a discreet sleeper. The Germans do them well...

The 207 above is running circa 360-380bhp and is currently for sale, I shamelessly went and seen it but went with my heart and chose to add another Subaru to the stable.

It is a bit mental for what it is though and it pulls very well.

Surpringsly it goes rather well, quaife lsd......the spec is rather good.

Still not a patch on the Subaru though as that ticks many more boxes.

Yup, 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds and 465lb·ft of torque.
Had a play with one in the STi and there was no way I was catching him.

Had a 320d x-drive as a loaner last summer and although the speed wasn't electrifying the handling was amazing. The 8 speed auto box is exceptional.

Yup yup yup! I had one for around a year or so. Weighed just over a tonne, had a huge amount of poke from the turbo 2lt engine. I swear it could out accelerate a WRX from 30 to 90 mph

My mate Nissan rasheen turns a few heads,, he's dropped a forged pulsar engine in it everything is a straight swap apart from a slight mod to the intercooler pipe work and making his own loom as it was a 1.6 auto

Something different - nice - shame he doesn't know how to park it
