they are going pretty cheap, from my experiences in them they are very basic and bland inside but they can shift

you driven one marc? would you define nippy as ctr, 182 etc pace.
i was looking at astra coupe turbos but now thinking of one of these, heard good things like fantastic chassis and great sounding yamaha developed engine

7.2 0-60mph & 140 top speed.
The top speed is ok but i guess its a heavy old girl with that 0-60mph time.

Thats what dale has just now...
Same story as a CTR, just a touch slower....
Very tiring engine to drive on motorways with its short gearing/love of revs...
But screams to be thrashed

It'd be fine with a TRD supercharger kit fitted. 
If Dale's got one tell him its a hairdresser's car... although he probably knows that already.

they pretty average until the revs hit 6200 RPM, then it goes ballistic. my mate used 2 keep up with his bro's 328 Beemer.
