You would go for another classic after having the bug sti?

Interesting, I've had 2 classics and if I were to re-run the fun it would be a Prodrive Bug STI.

The bug I'd be happy using daily, good classics are getting near to weekend only.

IMHO, the older car will always provide a more 'seat of your pants' experience than its newer counterpart. You just 'feel' the drive more, mainly due to the lack of insulation/isolation effects caused by modern engineering techniques. The differences probably aren't that great power wise, it's just the way you experience it.

classic all the way they are just more rough and ready you sit lower to the floor which helps to give a better feeling lol, i have drove a bug mapped to 310bhp and its not the same as my classic wrx with a vf22 fitted not even mapped its way more aggressive??? or does it just feel quicker,

Classic everytime for me. I drove the newage I'm selling again today and that doesn't even come close to my V3.
It just feels more nimble through tight bends and exciting to drive.

Get yourself another classic buddy, you know it makes sense, lol.....
