I know the sporto was made for a 2.0 flat six and I have heard varying reviews to the enjoy ability and more so performance. some saying it made a dud out of certain models?
I know sacrilege to the beast? so it made me thing how a sporto would be to drive with say a 2.7 s all ported out and outperforming any of the stock touring sixes but would you have to heavily modify the tranny and such? This must be where LSD and such come in handy? I have nerve damage in my feet so clutching it is getting painful to say the least?just looking for opinions and knowledge? thanks,Jo |

Two PCA members that I knew each had Sportomatic cars with larger engines. One had a 1977 european Carrera 3.0 Sportomatic. He changed the original 3 speed Sportomatic to an earlier 4 speed Sportomatic and autocrossed the car extensively. The other was a member with an early 3 liter 930 that he had changed to a Sportomatic. He tracked the car quite a bit.
