RichardL sent me this link. http://www.factoryfive.com/kits/project-818/
An American kit car based upon German 914 engineering. It had to happen. The kit is $10,000 and with Subi doner parts about $15,000. Wow. Pretty cheap and it probably handles. Sure would be fun to put a 3.6 Subi (normally aspirated) and run some hills with it or just go with a 2.0 turbo Subi and blow off the tires at every corner exit.
