Hello Jacques,
had a friend who had one way back in the '70's.....
i remember the Road & Track review from when they came out,
a comparison test........
they were the fastest sports car in their class, at the time.
go like stink, as i recall about 4 secvonds faster around the
track (can't remember which track) than a porsche 914
(VW-914?!) or a TR6, ... BUT...........
no one can keep a rear end in 'em! ALL the rear ends from junk
yards are LONG GONE. LONG GONE! and have been gone since the
late 70's, early 80's. that and U-joints. .. the rear end was
made for a lower torque 4 banger and WON'T hold up to the 6
cylinder. at least not for long. ..
the ones that are still around are the ones driven like old
ladies cars, not driven the way they were intended to be
driven, because they WON'T hold up!!!!
BE VERY WARY!.........
