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

But that is not what this post is about, I was just wondering if the person that contacted my mate last night was on hear as he said he would get the full speck of his WRX to us.

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.
