I hadn't realised that it was only the 20 Evo spec cars that were particularly quick - the "standard" RS200 wasn't that fast in pure performance terms...

250 bhp & (450 bhp 'works' rally car) & [550 bhp Evo car]

* Max speed: 140 mph approx (N/A) [185 mph est]
* 0-60 mph: 6.1 secs (2.8 secs) [3.06 secs]
* 0-100 mph: 17.0 secs(7.3 secs) [6.9 secs]
* Standing 1/4-mile: 15.0 secs (11.4 secs) [10.9 secs]

Only trouble is there's not many of the Evo spec cars for sale!
Although some of the later road cars were apparently uprated to 300 and 350 BHP.

I remember wanting a RS200 so badly as a teenager.... Now it just looks like an mk1 MR2 with a bad body kit. Oh the disappointment. I'm with Mr Noble give me the Diablo (though that would break down before you got it home!

Oh well.. think I'll go an stare out the window at the M12 and think how lucky I am!

Hmm... Proper Lambo engineering what a motor (when it's actually running hehe)
I think in performance terms a good 600 brake Ultima yum for 25K would be a better buy.
