90's look

you must be running silly power to keep up with a turbo

No you don't, you just need to be running a fit engine, well set up suspension and considerably less weight than the Japanese cars - that's got stripped-out Golf2 written all over it.  People would do well to remember more isn't always better, it's just more.  The Caterham Seven is a perfect example of this.

i know a imprezza turbo handles alot better than any mk 2

Rubbish.  Maybe you've not spent enough time setting up your Golf yet.  Imprezas handle well (and astonishingly well with four-wheel alignment), but not necessarily out of the box.  You really need to consider how much extra power people are putting through the Golf2 chassis and also that the Golf2 can be had with 4WD.  I've caught a number of Impreza drivers with their pants down with my Syncro and am really looking forward to doing more of it when I get my new engine in in the next couple of weeks.

how about some late 80's styling instead..

will probably be hated on here, but i think its rather cool (apart from the Len'ses obviously )

Awesome, 3 MKII's and a MKI in the top 20 against some VERY exotic tin.

hehe anyway can we get back on the subject, im not arsed what can beat an impreza, and that you can spend all your hard earned wages to modify an old golf to keep up with one.. The other day i went out in my boss's 599 GT with LC, its stupidly fast in a straight line and in the corners.. oh wait...que the person to tell me differant

90's look cars please!!
