Re: should i buy the SVX?
With the stock KA motor the 240 is slow as balls, but will still spin up the rear tires and get sideways with a little encouragement.
The main thing to watch out for with 240's is rust, they were made from cheap metal and most are is rough shape.
Why does everyone expect a production line 155HP vehicle to keep up with a Ferrari? The base model '93 hatchback that I had for about 4 years provided plenty of fun at the autocross, & would hit 60 in under 8 seconds. It had 275,000 miles on it at time of sale last year, with the original clutch, suspension, & engine. It had NO rust whatsoever.
Geezer Editorial - Take a light rear wheel drive car, drop a turbo in it, & give to a "first time driver" 17 year old. Instant disaster.
