I have never really liked these. Although I could be sway, if I ever drive one.

They're stunning cars. Not high on my want list, but I would never turn one down if the opportunity arose.

What? You mean you don't like cars that look really sporty but are actually disappointingly slow? Could have fooled me!

But seriously, I could probably be swayed to not liking them if I ever did drive one.

It's not high on my want list either, but it's there. Somewhere near a Model T low rider.

It isn't that they are slow, it is that they are all around terrible. Or all the things point to it being terrible. Bad engine, bad chassis, bad brakes, bad gearbox.

It's an Italian sports car from the 1970s, what do you expect a Lexus? They still run $20-30k for a good one. I'd (try to) drop in the drivetrain from an Evora and put some modern brakes and suspension under it.

Well, considering you can get a Datsun 240sx for less than that, and they are a great platform for creating your own personal race car. That is just how I would role though. If I was going mid-engine from the same era it would be a 914 with a boxer 6 transplant!

Yeah but that's the practical, reliable Japanese route. Not the ultra-rare and sexy Maserati that's going to have women chasing you like you've stolen their purse. Then after a block and a half when you've broken down you've got several women to help you put out the fire!
