you do realise that a traffic light gp is the scoobys strongest point, a classic spec |UK turbo 217bhp will hit 60 in 5.6 secs, and you honestly believe your 106 GTi will come close to that, no offence fella but I think he was laughing at you for trying.

UK classics are all lower powered saloons or wagons (estates). I'm pretty sure as standard they were about 210bhp (early ones)
You get specials..... McRae, Terzo, Catalunya, RB5, P1 etc

classic shape uk models came in estate and saloon, with either 208bhp 1994-1998, then 217bhp 99 onwards. Import classic shape were known as WRX's and also came in saloon or estate form but with 240bhp, later wrxs had 260bhp. Prodrive also did a performance pack( and still do) which raised power to 240 bhp.
The difference between a clio sport and a classic Uk impreza is minimal once rolling as the 4wd advantage has been negated due to traction at low speeds, the impreza definately has the edge as the speed rises though.
New shape UK Imprezas from 2001 onwards were known as WRXs and had around the same power but a lot more weight, so were a lot slower than the classic shape UK spec turbo.
The classic shape STis are all imports the only official UK model STi was the 22B STi type Uk and only 16 were made. the P1 was based on an STi Type R Version 5, which prodrive modified to make Uk friendly, but it didnt have the DCCD that imports had as standard.

yep mcrae, terzo, catalunya, and RB5 were all standard Uk turbos although some had the prodrive performance pack added. The P1 was developed by Prodrive, the WRX STi Version 5 Type R which the P1 is based on is the better car though

are you brain dead?
A supra has to push all that power through 2 rear wheels. An Impreza has double the grip. Get to 80 or so and the supra is gone.
You find one in... er.... AutoTrader perhaps
