Now the early ones are getting cheap (asking prices around Aus$4500), and they have my attention again - 110kW, six gears, ~1250kg with all of the modern safety stuff, and apparently do 0-100kph in under 9 seconds despite a crazy tall diff ratio. Oh, and brake rotors that should still just fit under 15" wheels.
Surely you can take a stack of weight out, fit a shorter diff and have a decent thing?
Is there a fly in the ointment that I have missed? Or is it just that nobody thinks about them because they aren't an E30/E36?
And I assume that they are new enough that the electronics are a hassle?
Any input welcomed!
