Those things came out when I was working at the dealer in the 70s. Like porsche tech said, what a piece of vibrating shiite they were. Hated them from my first test drive. One of the many names we called them, geeksport quadraport caught on. Management didn't care for our comedy and suggested we put a cork in it. Clutch jobs were a lot of fun, not. Even more fun when the mainshaft and pilot bearing welded themselves together and the torque tube assembly wouldn't separate from the engine. Yay. Ever replace a turbo on one? And deal with broken exhaust studs in the process? Non- interference valve train was nice when the timing belt broke though. Other than that, nothing a rock on the throttle and a launch off a cliff wouldn't cure.
