Going to steer him from the 914. He has had one before and it didn't go well.
He has been bitten by the bug to race now and I am trying to guide him to a competative car in stock SCCA Solo II. How reliable would a 17 yr old hot rod K-car be? 86 GLH for $2500 anybody ever had one of these? Also a 86 GLH-S with 1200 miles on it. I just don't think I could race that car. price is $11,700 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

There is something very, very cool about the GLH...sort of in a much-crappier precursor to the Subaru WRX kind of way. Big performance to the people, though the comparison ends at build quality.
Notice how few GLH/GLHS examples you see on the road today. Even compared to early VW GTIs. I recall seeing a GLH a few months ago (beat down!) and being shocked because I hadn't seen one in YEARS... and I am a sick-o when it comes to spotting odd/wierd cars. I'm with the Miata fans. If I wanted to go racing on a budget, the Mazda would be my horse -- the costs vs. possibilties are very attractive. The reliability is a big bonus, too! pete |
