It’s not a sports car, but definitely a sporty car. Great highway car - engine is laggy like an 80s turbo but has a terrific midrange, cruises at 70 or 80 or 90 or 100 - whatever you like. Chairlike seats are all-day comfortable, I’ve never had the heat past halfway, even in 15F weather. Came to me with Intrax springs and Monroe shocks, which was a terrible combination (but nice stance, as seen in the photo.) Currently on later SPG springs (85 SPGs used standard Turbo/S springs) and adjustable red Konis, which is much, much better but I need to take the shocks out again and turn them down a notch or so. I bought it in Vancouver (lifetime BC car) and road-tripped it home to Chicago. Perfect body so while it’s been driven in winter occasionally it’s never seen salt and only got caught out in snow once. I’ve had my fun with it for a few years and improved it some, and it’s time to pass it along in the spring.
