My first car at 16 was a '67 MGB, fun car but no speed racer. I enjoyed working on that car...good thing too.
Second was a BMW but it was a 1600, not exactly a speed demon either.

My first car was a Renault R11. 1100 cc 5-speed rear engine car. I used to tell everyone that it was front engine, but it fell out and I threw it in the trunk.
One guy I picked up hitch hiking called it a lunchbox without a handle. Speaking of handling, this car did. That is, if you didn't mind going up on two wheels in a turn.
The car was a true lightweight. Renault took weight seriously and stripped everything off the car that wasn't absolutely needed.
Renault demonstrated this by only using three lug nuts per wheel.
