Buy the Highline. best equiped Mk3. Yea you may want to lower it to sort the handling but after that its a fine car!

If you got the money than put the VR6 engine into the MK2. There was a MK2 VR6 in my area and not alot could keep up with it and those that could cost £50k+ and obviously your evo's and scoobies.
