Totally hypothetical....
How would you compare it to a well modded Scoob of comparable power?

I bought my wife one in May.
One of the best cars Ive ever driven. Youve got over 300bhp with crisp packet weight.
If you get one get the s54 (latest one they did), they come with traction control and it might have less chance of ending up in a lamp post then mine did (driven by my wife at no more than 20....in the wet)

Would probably have to get the S50 and retrofit traction control.

1500kg's isn't a feather weight, but they are brisk enough.
This is the frightening bit, when you put the power down it really squats - on a dry smooth road it is ok, but a little scary if you hit a white line or a cat eye at the same time!
The car was owned by a friend - he managed to keep it on the road just, but he had a few brown trouser moments, sadly the garage that serviced it had less luck and got into a tank slapper off a round about and ended up in hitting the kerb hard. A couple of alloys, diff, half shafts, discs etc etc later it was back on the road.

If I was to get one..... Racelogic traction control, stiffer springs, uprated ARBs and droplinks (oh and a remap) would be on the car within a month.
These cars can bite as per messages above.
