    If the car has a weak dyno number I may reconsider my decision, but I don’t think I’ll have to worry, especially when I am not fighting the car to park
    U r committed. I think the last car I ran w no PS was a silver swap car in 2017…it did not work out like I wanted It to 70% of the time….the city is not the place. Parallel parking was arm day…oy vey

                Similar power to a stock 1.6L miata, but you figure an extra 500-600lbs on the E30.

                Edit: I don't know if I can trust that graph. Revved out to 8500rpm on the bottom axis?

                Simon show us the real numbers!
