At what point did you mention you had a 172??
As said you can't go wrong with a scooby.

Slower than the older GT's. I'd go with the GT personally.

£2500 would get you a decent Pulsar Gti-R
Easy to get to 300+bhp if its not already been done.
Would piss all over similar priced Impreza's with the same kinda power.
Nissan Sunny on steroids FTW.

Mate don't talk shit....
MR2 Turbos are good cars and the turbo's can be quick but they wouldn't ROAST a scooby
