It might be a POS, but that car is very exclusive. Only 31 was made and that car is #31.

There would be less than 31 in the world today I'd imagine, making it extremely rare.

This is a factory homologation special built to be raced...I guess that qualifies as a POS... 530hp from a turbo 3L in 1976 is an awesome feat.

Sounds reasonable for a special edition race car with a documented pedigree...

Sounds pretty reasonable knowing the history and the rarity

3 or 4 super cars and a house for $500,000? In the US? Wow, let me know where I can find a deal like that.

Assuming a super car is at least $100k that leaves $100k for a house that I'm not sure I'd want to park 4 super cars in front of.

So a super car or whatever you choose to call a unique car starts at 100K? I think I have the wrong car then, because I thought everyone here had the car of their dreams but I could be wrong again since mine is not worth 100K.

I'll need about 40 or 80 ti's to become super car status....

Not sure how one defines POS, but that car wouldn't fall into my category of POS

Are classic rare Ferraris that go for millions also POS?

LOL, sorry but a ti is not a super car. Unique car does not equal super car either. Try ferrari, lambo, high end porsche, or one of the other boutique manufacturers. Even a corvette Z06 or a nissan gtr will give you super car performance for under 100k.

The ti is a cool, fun car but I don't think anyone here thinks that it is a super car, lol.

I understand the value this car may have as a marketable historic item. I also understand that you are allowed to dislike it as well as not even care. My opinion stands that I value things differently and also take this as just an opinion that is just that.

Why make a negative thread intended to annoy people then? If you didn't want other peoples opinions you shouldn't have started the thread.

I agree with everything...

All cars are POS

It's worth it to someone, however I don't really care because I'd never spend that kind of money on a car.

It's like a purebred dog...Pricey, useless, and break easily..
