Had a friend with a Mk1 V6 Clio (think it was 225Bhp as opposed to the Mk2 which was 255Bhp) and both been on track in it and followed it. Performance wise it was marginally quicker than the 182 I used to own on the straights (we're talking pulling 1 car length 20 - 120ish) but my car would reign it in on the corners. Maybe because my car allowed me to feel more confident. I did heve it well set up. Didn't drive the V6 though.
As for the widowmaker reputation - he hit a puddle on the dual carriageway at 75ish Mph, rear end instantly overtook the front end and the car span down the central reservation and disintegrated into around 1500 pieces.
Pretty boring inside aswell, just your basic 172 / 182 spec interior, and I've heard that they can be written off for something as minor as needing a new bumper, due to the increadibly low volume of parts manufactured and therefore inflated prices.
Insane to look at, and may be a decent investment if you got a good one and looked after it, but not really for me.
