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.

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.

And yes it did have the dump valve.
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.
