find some european TI forums! we never got the 316 here in N. America - even the 1.8/1.9 is considered too slow for the usa. here it's okay to have a civic with 20 hp and think its a race car, but as soon as a car is rear-wheel drive, like an ae86 or this bmw, it's supposed to have at least 200hp to not get laughed at. when i had a 1990 miata random people would tell me how slow it is, as if i asked them, or as if they actually ever drove one...
if the 316 was ever sold here, the owners would have to wear paper bags over their heads.. |
