The 0-60mph in a 210bhp, 1200kg car in itself is stupid- unless the AWD really bogs it off the line. You're looking at a 170bhp/tonne power-to-weight standard, which is only 9bhp/tonne off a Mitsubishi Evo VIII 260, which can do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds.

this and the likes of the pulsar GTiR, Starlet GT etc are mad little pocket rockets.Originally Posted by IWantAnAudiRS6

Yeah, I did say to Tom it was from the same stable as the insane Pulsar GTiR, what're the specs on a Starlet GT? I bet that's a nutjob car.

FWD, 135hp, 860kg i think. not really the same kinda thing but still light and turbocharged, based off econobox etc etc

I'd prefer the Pulsar GTi-R.

^ What he said.
However, this is a good compromise.

I know I'll be labelled as an italian fanboy, but the Delta HF Integrale does 0-60 in about 5"5 seconds. And it's a lot more charismatic than this thing.
Yes I had to do it.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.

I agree with you entirely, and thanks for helping prove my point...
A shame that it was only LHD- but my neighbour does have one of 3 RHD Integrales.
The Special One
And probably way more unreliable.
I don't know how many of you have driven an Integrale. I drove one of the latest done and I wasn't well impressed. I love the engine and steering, but the chassis isn't as stiff as you'd expect and the gearbox spoils the fun because it's obstructive and feels awfull. Not my cup of tea..
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

I was sitting behind the Ford version of one of these the other day.

Actually I don't think there was a Ford model of this 323 GTR. There was with the early TX3/323 hatches, but if IIRC this model 323 and the Laser TX3 we had were different.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

i think they may have imported some over in NZ ( i do recall seeing just a Regula r 323 hatch in Ford livery and thinking WTF?
but by that model we were building them in australia, IIRC.

I said it was as fast, maybe faster, and that it has charisma. Nothing to with the realiabilty, the handling or the gearbox. And despite what you say I'd still buy one...

Sure, but it can't beat this car on price. It's a first car. Seriously.
Not everyone likes Italian cars from the 1960's and 1970's.
