Pocket Rockets

[Muppet]

Just a wee feeler here:  What would be the top 5 pocket rockets of all time and where would the City fit in, and I'm talking factory cars or close to it, not highbreds.
Heres a few of mine

Mini Copper S (early ones)

Honda City T2

Datsun 1200 Sedan or Coupe

Suzuki Swift GTI

Fiat Abarth

Toyota Starlet's

I'm sure theres plenty more Lets hear your opinions.

1. mira turbo
2. city turbo
3. charade turbo
4. nissan micra turbo
5. subaru rex (not wrx)

[BOOSTBOY]

I dont think the City would be in the top 5 by a long way!  :-[

Mini Cooper S - Definately number one
Renault Cilo Sport
Honda Civic Type R
Toyota Starlet GT

I tihnk we are talking smaller than civic type r's arent we? Like the really little ones. Say under 1000kg

[trustpower]

yeh, i dun think a civic is a pocket rocket
starlet turbo isnt really that pocket rocket either, its close,
but not that pocket...
By pocket we're talking closer to Kei class type sizes

Heres another two that haven't been mentioned:

Honda CRX

Toyota MR2 Supercharged---early model

Daihatsu Charade GTTI

Don't forget Suzuki Cappuccino
They are small, light weight, turbo charged, similar engine ouput with City Turbos although they are 660cc.
They are extremely well balanced tiny FR sport car.

How about the Nissan March Super-Turbo, has supercharger and a turbo!!

[wkthyk]

ya March is a quick car too, I love the Impul Version.
Does anyone know why Originally Nissan said want to bring March into Australia, but later on they changed their mind?

1: Austin Cooper S
2: Honda CityTurbo2
3: Fiat "Bambino" Abarth versions.
4: Renault 206 Turbos (check them out in GranTurismo4)
5: Renault ClioSPORT midmounted V6.   yumbo

thats my off the head list...sure thers more I could list...
Mazda R100 (with a 20B twin turbo in it of course!)

[K1W1]

Mitsi Minica Dangaan 4wd turbo

[Escorta]

I'd say in no particular order my top 3 would be...

City turbos
Charade turbos
Suzuki Cappuchinos - man I wish we got those in NZ.

Although the mini cooper "s" have a great following, they are a piece of junk to drive (in comparison to a City Turbo!)

I'd have to say the City Turbo would be definately top 5. Especially the T2! They are so solid and bang for buck, they are still comparable to late 90's vehicles
