you cna buy GT4 celica's for around 1500, and mucho robust cars for the money.
for about 75p you can boost them from 200 to 235-240BHP

They are so so heavy though - more so than a calibra and cav.
Friend has a ST185 Carlos Sainz and his standard with a stock Calibra Turbo it ate him.

GT4s are nice, dont like Jap cars tho, plus they look like rally cars, which is wicked if you want that sort of thing. i wouldnt.
Think GT4brody's car looks amazing.
But id have an LET astra over 1 anyday

285eh must be new
True in standard guise they are a bti slower, but the bottom end on those engines is good for 400BHP with no mods to them, other than a thicker h/g and a bigger turbo, can't really say that about a cally engine. Plus the transmissions virtutally never die rather than virtually never survive
And they are almost as streamlined as a cally, but lack the 6th gear.
I know what I'm going to get in the furture, shame about the 25mpg though
