Torque steer in the FRS is in a different league to any RS clio.
350z not fun??
Audi TT 3.2 V6
The z4 isnt that heavy really and with a 0-60 time of around 5.7 secs thats got to raise some smiles. The z4 is also renound for its handling is it not?
Excellent car for £12k imo.

not sure if its to your taste...but a jaguar xkr 4.0 supercharged beast will fit the criteria

edit: insurance group 20, my bad...with 370 bhp an 5.2 secs 0-60

Many Things
my bro has just sold his mk1 focus rs, tbh it was absolutely immaculate, no expense spared anywhere, it had a full 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Forge Actuator, Forge 007 split dump valve (IIRC) re-map by a guy on there, we estimated it to be putting out approx 260-270 bhp as it had one of the best maps from the factory, which was then added to by the re-map
As a car on the road, very quick throughout the gears, very suprisingly lack of wheel spin, probably due to the bigger wheels, wider tyres and LSD
He has since sold it for the following reason, which after driving the car back from being mapped i fully understand
Running 1.5 bar boost, holding boost at 1.45 BAR, however even on light throttle it was wacking the boost in far too much, to the point it was dragging you towards the kerb, which for a driving enthusiast like my bro wasnt really suitable especially as he likes to enjoy his cars down country lanes
I blame the forge actuator, as a standard car with standard actuator it was extremely well behaved on a back road and controllable, with the forge it just went on steroids
Good luck, I didnt realise they were similar to insure as the 1*2's otherwise i may have bought it from him

It's too heavy to be fun!
They're 1545 - 1655kg. That's heavy....
Yes they'd be fun round a track drifting til your rear tyres pop, but on the road, nah.
True, the z4 isn't crazy heavy, but I still can't see it being 'fun'.
It's too refined, I hear its got a crashy chassis too?
I'm only speaking my mind, I own an audi tt with some mods, 0-60 would be around 5.5 seconds but it's still not fun. I came from a clio cup and it's not a drivers car like that at all

why get a 225 when you could get a frs??
Evo 6, E92 320d
I guess as meganes come in at half a decent frs now, seen good examples for around 5k.
