Default classic cars are slow, new bmw.

BMW 635d Coupé (2007 onwards model) - Green Motoring | MSN Cars
This is the same power as the E39 4.4 vee8, But 36mpg!!., the new Corsa vxr (197ish)has a same power as a cossie..
The 944 first cars had 163bhp, the the 3.0l had 190bhp classic cars good or not? Or just slow, during the war......respect your elders. Your be old one day if your lucky. what ever happened to the magic 200BHP

PS E36 M3 still fast??

Mk1 VW golf GTI vs MkV Golf GTI

Mk1 wins every time.. So its not always clear cut. Would have a 1980's 911 Turbo over a new one any day Not faster but way more fun

Give me a choice between a 1980's Ford RS200, (NOT the RS2000), and ANY Scoob, and you'd not see me hesitate: RS every time.

Character beats outright performance every time..

.. that's why people love the Impreza over Evo's

I've seen it to a MK IV but I would put my money on the MK V, 2.0L Turbo, thats UK Impreza spec. I know who has won every time a MK I Golf had had a bit @ me.

Just my 10p worth.
