the ST and VXR are very tuneable if thats something to consider
340+bhp in the VXR for 2k ish
why not buy a focus RS? They are fantastic cars, my mate had a 300bhp one that was awesome to drive
as for the Cooper S vs CTR they are both very different cars

[QUOTE=composite guru,Jul 15 2006, 04:33 PM] All fair and well but anything more than 220BHP on a FWD car is wasted. Al you get back in return is lots of torque steer and wheelspin. This is the main reason why the new CTR is going to have a similar power to before!!

The DC5 is wonderfully hardcore, possibly too hardcore for some.
CTR is softer, but too powerful for the front wheels. Shreds tyres & then is crap to drive.
Minis - basically great, but some wheel/tyre combos will ruin its dynamics. Typical Krautwagen, then.
I do wonder if the Cooper might be a better buy, therefore.
But you will look like an estate agent.
All in all, an Impreza has far better dynamics & is cheaper.

forget them both. chav or gay, gad is spot on.
get the new Golf Gti and be a badge monkey instead
it's actually a good car. The CTR looks fricking awful and the Mini is massively gay, if Arnie drove one with Jack Nicholson in the passenger seat you'd think they were both bent.
or if you want something faster than an M5 get a vectra :yawn:

great cars but I could never own one, too many chavs have them now
a car wrecked by it's own sucess?
they do sound good tho
btw my mate has a type r and it puts the power down fine?

I've recently sold my CTR for the S.
I'd def say go for the CTR, i can't think of a better all round value for money car. I'd def have another one.
Also the Teg DC5 is worth looking at, lovely in CW. Hold their money better than the CTR aswell.
