do the corsa. u would only lose the same amount of money on a new car as to doing your corsa up. throttle boddies also is a must.

I would go for the 172 cup, although for the money (I'm afraid I don't know the current going price of a 172) I'm sure you could get something better than the Clio.

For a grand more you can start looking at second-hand Evos.
Or even make Kindness an offer on the Supra

The consumption of any car is bad if you are doing 0 - 60 times mate. I wouldn't give a fuck about fuel consumption, i'd get a BMW 3 Series Compact, put some 18's on it, nice subtle kit

I'm in agreement with Red_Sxi - if you're really bothered with performance then you ignore fuel economy.
You might be able to find something that offers the best of both worlds, but it's probably lacking in some other area.

I'd rather have a slower BMW than a Evo, more gangster, why not get a second hand range rover and put 24's on it
