began life as a mint 1.0 i bought from some old guy with 29k on clock , an i reshelled a rotten gsi into it, along with a 20xe engine , coilovers , big brakes , stainless exhaust etc, went for a full std exterior look apart from the softstars and had it resprayed about 4 years ago , just lives in my unit now waiting for the good weather so it can have a run out , will prob be turbo'd very soon though just need a few more parts

lol , i would be a big fat lyer if i said i dont give it some stick , it does go very well in a little nova shell -in the dry , can be a bit understeer heavey but you do get used to it and its very predictable ,
wont take it out in the wet conditions as there is no traction , and dont want to get it dirty haha
ive been a nova boy for nearly 13 years now , but have also got a mk1 golf cab with needs a big restore so where as i can build a nova blindfolded , im goin to take my time with the golf

i think if someone else drove the car then yes it would , if not more. there is a fair bit of a weight shift when you lift of so it can catch some people out , i have got so used to it that if i am giving it a bit of a thrash through the twisties, you have to just keep the power on or feather it through with some wheelsping understeer
its sounds bad to say , but it does make you smile and laugh and feel 17 again
