classic is up to 200KG lighter than the newage. if you decide to strip it out it will be even lighter. power to weight will be vastly superior than the newage.

Newage, (anything with 400+BHP is going to be rapid) and at least you will have some creature comforts.
I'd have said classic if you wanted a dedicated track car (or at least 50/50) but do you really want a classic with 400+BHP mainly for the road? Very capable I agree, and great fun for a month or two..then tediously potent, loud and old.
imho of course lol

power to weight ratio is going to make a massice diffrence if its for track use then you seem to have another car anyway so i doubt you will need your creature comforts

v7 sti already has strong enough box, better brakes and good heads, would be cheaper than fitting six speed etc to a classic, but then it depends on what you like as no matter what anyone else says you need to be happy with it yourself, I personally would just go jdm twinscroll and have one of the new hybrids fitted, 400+bhp and no messing about swapping engines around, but then we all have our own opinions

if you had both cars on a track or the strip which one would be more fun, challenging and entertaining to drive for me the type r all day. on the strip again both cars running the same power the type r will be quicker. even on the road the type r will be a lot quicker, v6 sti type r are just awsome.

Having owned both cars 1st a 370bhp bugeye which I loved to bits but lost my job so had to sell But started a new job and went out and bought a v6 v-ltd type r which is pretty standard running 315bhp. It is just as quick if not quicker round the twisties no lag at all having owned it for about a year now, think I prefer the drive of my type r, infact I LOVE it to bits
Go for the type r mate you will NOT be disapointed
