A 914 is worth whatever it’s worth, a beautifully sorted, ready-to-drive one is probably worth ~$80k more than that to someone with enough cash making an impulse buy.

It’s nothing to do with saving copper. It doesn’t, not significantly. It’s empirically proven to be orders of magnitude safer, though.
So, how much does it cost to get my up-for-sale car featured on Jalopnik like this? And shouldn’t you acknowledge that you’ve been paid by the seller?
How much did the seller pay for this advertorial? Why don’t you acknowledge that this piece is only running on the site because you’re paid to run it?
Far too dangerous. They’re way beyond too fast to race.

Why would it being untrue stop Gawker publishing it?
You won’t really get on any list. It’s a sixties hippie text, not banned or watch-worthy.
Buying/downloading the Anarchist’s Cookbook takes you off the watchlist, because it means you’re a teenager, not a terrorist.
“Yeah, smart people download it over TOR.”
That would be easier, but it would be harder for someone to convince themselves they’ve found a clever way of stealing money that’s not really stealing/illegal. Which is probably what’s going on here.
Affordable? Not since about 10 years ago. They’re not must-be-rich money, but it’s hard to see them as a value proposition when they fetch 5x the price of an equivalent MX-5 of the same age.
More predictable and easier to control are two different things. So even if we let you have the ‘more predictable’ line of argument - though of course it’s obvious nonsense to anyone who knows how to drive - you’re still wrong.
