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?

I think it's the Nissan 240sx.
Common upgrades: 5 lug swap for bigger brakes and better wheel selection. Underpowered. 145hp is not enough for 2800lbs. Great driving dynamics. Cheap, at least until drifting took off. Now you can't find an unmolested example. Rust problems, mostly from the rear wing and C-pillar drainage. Easiest motor upgrade is the home market 200hp 2.0L turbo. Other swaps.... Nissan I6, V6 and V8, Toyota I6 and V8, plus SBC and LSx. Body kits galore. Sounds like a 914 to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
