Depends what sort of scooby!

If its a K-reg WRX with 120k miles on the clock then I would swap it with a new shape corsa.

The corsa in question is one of the fastest things I have been in, it eats EVOs for its breakfast and then looks for something that will give it a run for its money but nothing has come close to it

All depends,

I'd have a proper setup 2.0 Corsa over a 120k ropey 93wrx anyday.

What do you mean GC8 FWD cars don't handle? BTCC anyone?

First word that springs to mind - "wheelspin" !

Simon is spot on.

There's little point in putting more than 300 bhp in a fwd car.
