Yeah, but when you open and close the door of an SC, you get the feeling of a machine--not a car. And that sheet metal has some heft to it. Still like that analog dash and the sound of the engine turning over. And the superb handling and brakes--on a 25 year old car! The downside: the 915 gearbox, the CIS, the heating/cooling system--and oil leaks which ultimately can be traced to inadequate oil cooling/cooling of the oil.
