Always interesting these type of threads. As it always seems to throw up some lesser powered nimble smaller cars. And this comes from people who have chased power and now running some big spec powered cars.
I have had a few motors

but short list has to be 306gti6, RS1600I, 2.5 Classic Scoob, E46 M3, modded audi S4, Evo5, and my current favourite and still have it along with the scoob which is a S2000.
