I would ahve to agree with this one.
Plus i find the old model of cars have more charactor about them and you feel more in touch with the driving Experience as there are less driver aids! Most new cars look the same as the designers go around from company to comapny using the same shapes and designes

Here are some performance figure from the latest Evo magazine.
BMW 325i SE 0-60 7.1 secs
131 bhp/tonne
Max speed 149mph
Impreza WRX 0-60 5.5 secs
161bhp/tonne
Max speed 143mph
Impreza T2000 0-60 5.4secs
177bhp/tonne
Max speed 144mph
No figures for the BMW 323iSE but it won't be quicker than a 325i SE. But the BMW does have a higher top speed than both Impreza's which isn't much use when on the roads.

never had a problem in either my newage or my old classics, mainly on accelerating up slip roads
Although the 306gti6 i recently had could pretty much out pace my classic wagon once rolling in 3rd
