I haven't seen one of these in a long time. When I was in college, a fellow engineering student had a brand new one in gray--I thought it was really cool! It didn't hurt that she happened to be a really hot blonde either. wink image

Cool car! A Chevette with a major ATTITUDE! Giugiaro's ItalDesign styling at it's best, and suspension tuning by Lotus - How could you go wrong? trophy image

sweet car. I didn't know it was based on a Chevette. It looks a lot like an Alfa from the 80's.

About

I bought this car as a commuter car and fell in love with it's responsive turbocharged performance and handling (suspension tuning by Lotus). Apparently my son was impressed with it too: One night he "borrowed" it and went street racing with it... and managed to roll it over a couple of times. He was OK - until he got home, that is!

5-Speed Manual Transmission
Suspension, Wishbone/Coil Spring/Coil Spring

Just a low-restriction intake and exhaust to help the turbo do it's job.
