Default How tuneable are these engines? What's the best car?

At the mo the next car is looking like being either a Pug 205 or 309 Gti 1.9 if I can find a good one at the right money, an 8v Golf Gti mk2 or 3, a circa 1989 320i E30 beemer 2.0 or a Mondeo 2.0 si mk1 or 2.

What are the tuning options for these cars, which is easiest to tune and how hard would it be to get the beamer to a circa 8 sec 0-60 time? I just don't wanna be buying a car that's gonna get pissed on by tw*ts in VTRs.....

Cheers folks

LOL yeah I know what you mean. I just find that there's so much knowledge on here of all kinds of cars and engines. I do like Fords loads but there's just nothing out there that I can get a good insurance quote on that has both good performance and a Ford badge!
