Wheelspin ? did you watch the video ? Thats under 250hp on gas, 150hp max off gas I can post the other with a 150shot of gas when we pulled a 4.9 - 60 and 9.6 to 100mph at brunters if you like, hardly any wheelspin, lets see you beat that with your 328hp.

Just because your RS turbo doesn't lay the power down don't assume a nova is the same, especially one with a diff.

A early Evo or GTIR is brittle, expensive on parts and mainly fast on the 1/4 as it gets off the line well being that its 4wd, terminal speeds tend to be no better than my nova was for example.

I would take that nova anywhere, any circuit and happily drove it to Germany, kick the arse out of it for over 30 laps then towed someone home, if the engine had of ever given up it was £200-£300 for a replacement so that is why you cannot compare them to a Evo or Pulsar as they are in another league of costs to look after properly.
