My bro's FN2 would start to trouble my old Bugeye STi after about 100mph on a track but up to 100 the STi saw it off quite easily.

I'm actually not that surprised that you didn't hand the EP3 it's asse butit does sound as though you should get your classic checked out anyhoo for peace of mind etc.

 

When owning my 260 WRX Classic I would pull on a CTR, nothing to shout about but you could tell there was a slight nudge from the Classic, now making the jump from the WRX to a Type R I think after 100 the Civic has more pull but under a tonne the Impreza has it. As for newage, well going by my own experience of Classic and Civic vs newage I'd put money on both over a non mapped newage.
