Enough isnt a factor, depends what you want in the car. Its not a race, just about how much fun you have. Cars will greatly vary in power.

If your looking for fun I suggest a 106 rallye s1

pug 205 gti would be a good car, although just look out on the rear beam as the bushes go shot

Yup just got my 205 Gti 1.6 , might not be that quick but it does handle amazing!! i was suprised at how well it does! mines only lowered about 40mm front and back is about 20mm if not standard but has avo adjustable on back and uprated front suspention which i havnt checked the make of yet. Front end is a bit slidy in this shity weather but thats due to my avons being a bit worn. but sticks to the road well! Get a shot in 1 as every1 says ! that will make up your mind.
