Not too bad - 0-60 in 7.7 (turbo is 5.2 )
140 top end + 175bhp in the wet is much fun
Also worth remembering I was only 19 when I bought mine - Mr insurance man wouldnt allow me anything faster - This has now changed
Turbo is daftie in wet, ive lost my brothers got knows how many times, steady foot on that one !
19... you went named, I was looking at a red n/a one the other week, tbar nicceee

If you can afford the extra insurance etc sooty go for a turbo..the N/A is a great car but the turbo has arse ripping peformance!!!

Yes seem to remember the first time I drove mine in the wet...came to first corner thought will give it some...next minute 240+ BHP roaring through the back wheels!!!! 
Sh*t my pants...needless to say wet driving has become a lot more conservative since then!!
Aye - this happened to me too - first night, ended up 270 degree spin on a roundabout
