It depends what you want really! Ive had:
A corsa 2.1 16 valve on throttle bodies (210+bhp), well quick! The engine was great but the car handled like a dog and wasnt very well screwed together!

A BMW 3 Series (4.4 V8), Really well built, top interior, nearly 300bhp, looked great and was semi quick (the 4.4 V8 never really worked too well and had to come out after a short period) Thing is you fall into the BMW driver category, which is made up mainly of tw@ts! Oh and the car is that quiet and safe it bores the shite out of you!

And my current chariot is a 00' Nissan 200sx turbo. Interior is as stated "shocking" but its got air con, nice leather seats and plenty of room for gauges and boost computers etc! This is without doubt the best car Ive had! Ive only done a few small mods and already Im well past 250bhp! The car is fast and it handles well and thats the only reason I bought it! Just ordered today some 700cc injectors, a fuel computer, a 1.8mm metal head gasket, HKS manifold, turbo elbow, actuator and a roller bearing turbo. A mate of mine with the same spec car made 358bhp on SCA's rollers and just shy of 400bhp on Well Lanes! There aint no car apart from Japs you can do that with Im afraid!
