309 handles better than the 205, if you get a 3 door one.

I've been in a stripped Golf GTi 8v. Had Spax suspension and rollcage. Went pretty well.

Jon, look on ebay, about half of the 205s on there are stripped and caged
or look in AKs garage
Mk1 golf is good, mk2 is too flabby... anything newer than that.... dont even bother

didn't read that low 
320 then. obviously not as much fun, but should still be a laugh.
i've been offered a 520 gratis, but i think it will be a slow assed boat.
