Is there a modern 914, Wondering if there is a 21st century equivalent Options

[worn]

I have been wondering a lot lately if there is an equivalent of a light weight sports car like a 914 made for today’s drivers. The 914 seems to have been focused on driving, rather than comfort: my 61 Falcon was no less comfortable or optioned. I know they have to pass safety and emissions. A toybaru?

NSX - Forgot all about them, as did most people, even older now than the 914 was when they where sold.

914 and NSX both great handling cars
914 and NSX not the fastest car on the block, and even slower buy todays standards if keep in stock form
914 and NSX somewhat of a cult car, both have been appreciating over the last few years
914 and NSX some funky outside the box engineering going on
NSX - A/C from factory
NSX - can do a long haul with out saddle sores
914 more storage space

Modren day, not maybe we needed to define Modren day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

So by my definition lets say something that has been on the new car showroom that sold in the last 10 years. And has an out the door price tag of less than $60,000 USD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Can be purchased used to get the price down even further.

So if that is the case I vote for this.



My quick search found 15 examples less that $65,000 dollars figure 5K off is not a hard thing to do in negotiations.

You can drive these all day long. All the comforts of you arm chair, and well it is German engineering at its finest. V8 AWD will take out most of the driver feed back and well make it so everyone can drive a super car. Well almost everyone as people still do stupid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) in these.





But then that brings me back to the Ariel Atom

Used 2014 from Ariel 24999 in pounds, hit the conversion just right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)



And for me it is the proper color

Of course this is the rabbit hole we all go down when you set a price say $60K and then think of all the great cars you could own.

Now at least the McLaren have not dipped into that price territory. I would be selling everything to put one of them in the garage.
