Owned a 200bhp westie - made subarus look like buses on a track.
Great fun. Ran out of steam at 110 or so - but too scared by then anyway.
A well driven wendy house would have had me in the wet though. Was a nightmare.

Catflap,
I had a mildly modded Scoob
and it was fairly quick. 9.5 0-100 or better......
Westfield Megabusa does 8.5 0-100, magazine tested - so not massivley different - and above 120 it would problably be slower than my Scoob - but on track it will hammer a Scoob - in the dry of course. In the wet a Scoob will hammer the Westie, but you will be having a serious amount of fun in it
Scoob is basically sold and I've got a Westie with Hippy - chalk and cheese - heavy, 4wd, driver flattering, well balanced saloon and 440kg, lightweight, mid engined car. Fun factor is massive and runnig costs are ridiculous coapred to a Scoob.......
But.....
The BHP/ton malarky........
Friend had a Megablade Westie - rated at around 325hp/ton.
My Scoob had around 260 hp.ton (proper hp not Shetlanad pony southern RR hp)
Rolling in a straightline I would hammer him. And I mean hammer him. At donington, he absolutely took me to pieces round the bends - but I still had enough to be able to catch and pass him down the straights (fvck cubic capacity, there ain't no substitute for boost)
But a Megabusa is a differnet animal - 50hp in one of them equals 100hp per ton (inc driver) extra. That's like having 140hp more in a Scoob. ie a lot.
But remember they do have brick like aerodynamics, and whilst a Megabusa would more than likely be a fair bit quicker than JohnFs 330hp Cossie Westie 0-60, from 60-100 Johns would be by far the quicker, even though his power to weight is not much more.
So the solution is to get a Megabusa, with a 1.4 turbo giving 380hp and NOS in case of something quicker being around
