All this talk of Vauxhall Nova GTE 2.0 Turbo, R5's, and old school MG's is leaving me wondering if you're all stuck in a time warp!
I know that in their respective classes about 15 years ago all were okay cars, these days they just don't cut it. They don't offer the handling, brakes, comfort or reliabilty that a modern sports car will offer.
The guy who whinks he runs 10's with 400Bhp is dreaming or on drugs, do you have any idea what is takes to run 10's?
I don't care what you say about having driven your Nova with many engines and it still handling great, the handling isn't that good to start with and the added weight up front WILL make the car less drivable. (It will have a noticable differance on the 'rate of change of direction' when going from corner to corner.)
Note about Cosworth: Sorry to break the news to all you people of think you have something special because parts of your engines are made by Cosworth. COSCAST is actually Cosworth Castings based in Worcester they make normal engine parts for normal cars, they are nothing special. (The only thing that gives them the Cosworth name is actually part of the casting process and nothing to do with the design of the parts.)
