88-92 Mazda 323 GTX. AWD turbo terror in a very light weight hatchback chassis. One of the best rally bred cars to ever come out of Japan...and less than 5000 exist worldwide.

Ford Focus RS. The closest you can get to a road-going version of Colin McRae's World Rally Championship contender, deliberately using many of Ford’s WRC respected motorsport technology partners including: Sparco (seats), Garrett Technologies (turbocharger), O.Z. Racing (wheels), Brembo (brakes), Sachs Racing (dampers), Quaife (differential) and AP Racing (clutch).

unfortunately its front wheel drive with what Ford calls Quaife torque-biasing differential, which is LSD in normal language, found in Integra Type Rs.

the 88 was the best of the bunch, it was the lightest and handled the best.


oh ya, and the Integra type R borrowed the rear suspension from the 88 CRX Si....



but... I like this one the best right now, mostly because I get to drive it and the thing is Nuts in the corners...

its an 89 Si
ya thats me driving too...

I like two current hatches, the R32 for the sheer power in the thing, it's essentially a sportscar in a hatch, and of course, the look of the hatchback Si. I just like it a lot better than the look of other hatches (mainly the Focus.)

Yes those R32's are delicious...anyone know how much they go for? I was at a Jack in the Crack across from a VW dealer, and saw a couple of them scream past on test drives...
