My best friend had one of these in metallic green, looked like the village vicar should have been driving it. However this one had been fully modded by Abbot Racing by the previous owner.

It was savagely quick, wasn’t great round bends but on motorways/dual carriageways it was a beast, when I drove it it was the car version of the Millennium Falcon.

9000's look like boats but can be turned into pretty good track toys as they have a relatively stiff shell. OG 900 turbo's look fast but have a lot of flex (unless you can find the sort after 2dr) and the gearbox really can't handle any significant increase in power.
As i generally drive like the village vicar my 900 T16 is perfect for me and is still the newest car i've owned.

The whole dash was dripping in their fighter plane heritage. Driving that thing at night was just utterly delightful - glow all the things!

Adjustable coilovers would've made it handle the bends

No love for the 9000 Turbo? My dad had one in the early/mid-90s. All the torque steer!
