The engineering side of my brain has never been happy with cars that weren’t really will sort it out. I would take your 914-6 over the Probe , all day long and twice on Sundays. I doubt I could even get my butt into the Probe, at least without not breaking anything, as a condition.
I once looked at buying a Norwood P4 replica. Bob Norwood had, at least what seemed like, a pretty good reputation. He built quite a few of his replicas, more faithful than most, and so had plenty of opportunity to work the bugs out. Plus, the Ferrari P4 may be the neatest car ever built, if you’ve ever heard one driven in anger, in person. As it turned out, the car I drove was the biggest POS I’ve ever sat my butt in. 200 yards and I was done.
I look forward to seeing the pictures of this thing, I’m curious if any serious engineering went into it, or if it was built more like a kit car. Can’t wait to see where they got the suspension bits and how the motor and transmission were put together. If I’m not mistaken, the engine is installed transversely.
