[KamRacing]

I think you all need to define what a hot hatch is as some of the above cars are certainly not :D
The escort cossie is not a hot hatch and the corrado v6 is definitely a coupe.
You have to look at the originals to properly define them and i think its these:

1. Has to be based on a lesser model (rules out cossie as only the doors, roof and rear hatch are the same.)
2. Has to be cheap to buy (new) and build (rules out cossie and vr6 and most new so called hot hatches )
3. Has to stand out from its lesser bretheren in handling and performance but still be a practical everyday drive, including i think fuel consumption.

Basically its a performance car for the masses, not a fire belching 4x4 rally car or large capacity v6. Look at what are regarded as the originals for what a hot hatch is, Golf gti Mk1 and 2, Pug 205 and Clio Williams, Pug 106/saxo and 306 gti-6.
See you have to ask why the Lotus Sunbeam was not regarded as the first hot hatch, and a 2.2litre engine plus RWD tells you something...

[Tupps]

Zetec s.......

I like loads of hot hatches

vts, 182, type r, vxr....there's too many

[willsy]

106 GTI
Renault Clio Williams
Civic Ek9

[Karl]

Saxo VTS
Nova GSi
Starlet GT
Clio 182
R5 GTT

Metro GTi's = Nippy as fook motor for under 500 smackers.

Yeah, but you're paying that for a rare car..... it's just like the Clio V6 when that came out.

Mk2 golf gti
Saxo
clio
escort cossie
rs turbo
gt turbo
205 gti
106 gti
ibiza cupra
pulsar
etc, etc etc

[Quick]

That's not an ordinary 5 turbo thats a turbo 2, mid-engined group B rally beastie!!!

[Jamie]

Yeah, but you're paying that for a rare car..... it's just like the Clio V6 when that came out.

Chris :)

I agree to a certain exstent but the 3.0 v6 clio was significantly different to the rest of the clio range,. 3.0 V6 engine, wide sexy body ect ect

This to me looks like a mini with some add ons, whats the difference in speed between that and the top of the range cooper s?

[Chris]

1.6 JCW (Chili pack) - 0-60 = 6.9

JCW GP - 0-60 = 6.2

Chris :)

[Jamie]

So is .7 of a second and a car that looks relatively the same apart from some alloys (admitedly look the sex) really worth the price difference?

[Quick]

GP has no rear seats and strut brace, higher spec suspension...

[Kelly]

1.6 JCW (Chili pack) - 0-60 = 6.9

JCW GP - 0-60 = 6.2

Chris :)

would rather buy the cooper works ;)

my dad wanted a mini for ages but never got one. went from wanting a mini one to a mini seven to a mini park lane and then a mini gp. always wanted the new one out lol

and a works... forgot about that :p

JCW = John Cooper Works.

JCW GP = John Cooper Works GP

Chris :)

[VTR_Nick]

It's got to be
1 - Startlet Turbo
2 - 106 GTI
3 - 206 gti 180

[Kelly]

JCW = John Cooper Works.

JCW GP = John Cooper Works GP

Chris :)

never knew the gp was a JCW otherwise i would have said standard one lol

learn something new everyday!

[Chris]

GP has no rear seats and strut brace, higher spec suspension...

Bigger brakes
Better aerodynamics
18" Alloys with Run-flats
Plenty of weight saving
Where a normal JCW 210 musters 210bhp at 6,950rpm and 245Nm at 4,500rpm, the GP is good for 218bhp at 7,100rpm, 150rpm higher up the rev band. Torque is also up to 250Nm at 4,600rpm. In ideal conditions, the GP gobbles up the 0-60mph sprint in 6.2 seconds and tops out at 146mph
