How old are you?

Personally, I'd go for an early original Corsa GSi. Lovely cars as standard and also a good base for you to work on. Making them look even nicer is easy by just adding some speedlines, a subtle drop and a set of smoked rear clusters.

Then you can start on turbo charging or TB's at a later date....if you so desire.

What are peoples views on a Nova GSi in terms of releability and quickness compared to a Corsa GSi?
