Reading (listening) to this book at the moment. Some of it is pretty angering and quite tragic.

“We must not go on growing forever. We now have to consolidate these results and preserve exclusivity,”

I consider myself an air-cooled purist and was about to have a stroke when I heard electric but then I saw the original case was used with 6 chain driven motors and I aint even mad. What a crazy fantastic creation.

This engine deserved better.

Man I learned how to drive in a new 1997 Astro. Drove it to prom in 1998.

Wing or spoiler?

Same here. I am slowly missing the boat on these. By the time Ill take action I will end up buying a fixer upper and spending 2X as much in the end. :(

If only it looked a wee bit more like this...

Sound ON when the video is finally posted!

With electrification and autonomous driving on the way, do you think our beloved old cars are destined for museums/the crusher? Or do you think we will be allowed to keep them running alongside the electric commuter shuttles?

It wouldn’t surprise me. Take funding from the motorsports bucket to develop the engine to drop in the supercar when the supercar bucket funding runs out or whatever internal budget hot potato works.

Sounds like we are getting some kind of special limited edition super duper car in the near future with that leftover lump.

If you are in the market for a 914 and you like the rad styling this is NP all day. Decent cosmetics, do a 5 lug conversion and get some fuchs, pull the motor, clean it up, replace all the rubber EFI bits and it should run just fine and be a lot of fun. If you stumble upon a freshly redone 2.7 flat six that someone is…

Why was it cool back then to photograph concepts in the dirt or in a big hole in the ground?

Ive heard that having a kid blows, but this confirms it.

At least they aren’t projectiles.
