If you need a high performance car go and buy one, there are plenty of very affordable Celicas, Skylines, Imprezas about at the moment.

I think the old "Classic With Performance" car is actually one of the original "Custom" cars, if you think about the old American Hot Rods. I like the idea of a 144 with a modern engine, maybe a T5 engine. That way you get the good looks of the classic car, and the chance to embarrass the Chav in his slammed Focus, so that's a Win-Win if in my opinion.
