914 club....
Get this, Scott Air Force Base is having a base-wide picnic this Friday, and I was asked to show my teener at a very small car-show for military only. Here's the kicker..... I get the day off, but I have to write a brief, 1 page "history" on the car. I think this is because several schools will be visiting... not sure. Anyway... I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is what I came up with. Some things might be right, some things might be completely wrong.... but I did the best I could. I know.. kinda stupid, but I could really use your help on this. Considering I own maybe 1 of 4 or 5 in the entire Saint Louis area, I want it to sound good. So.. I need some constructive critisism. Text posted on the next page............. |

Porsche was changing thier focus to water cooled cars (924/928) and pollution regulations were too much for the type IV engine. Also crash standards (big ulgy bumpers) added weight and lowered performance. A major redesign was needed and the car was just at the end of its life.
Also the cars of it's day were the MGB, Datsun 240Z, Opel GT, TR6 & GT6, Fiat 124, but it never went up against the Jag. When is the last time you saw on of them on the road? Paul |
