Re: Chevy Sprint Turbo is correct
Quote:
It's always a pleasant flashback for me to remember some of these little cars that were a blast to drive in tight situations. I met a girl in Germany back in '66 who had a Fiat 770 (770CC) that could corner like mad, make a lot of neat noises between shifts, & would probably strain to hit 70MPH. But it was really "pizzaz" compared to the VW beetles that surrounded it in that era. Due to my love for that little car, I bought a Fiat 850 Coupe and also married the girl. I miss both of them.

And for more useless trivia...
It is a Suzuki Forsa, that's also branded by GM as Chevy Sprint or Pontiac Firefly. Here in Canada, we did get the Suzuki branding, but I think in the US, Suzuki didn't market it. I know Suzuki has a joint plant with GM in Ingersoll, Ontario, and I *think* that's where they were built. VK |

cor... an old model Suzuki Swift GTi.
I had the replacement model with the 1 litre (liter for you on the other side of the pond.) 4 cylinder engine out of the GSX1000 bike producing over 100bhp. Sold it after I soiled my pants. Andy |

ha. You guys are good. It is a Sprint, with a turbo charged intercooled 3 cylinder.
I think it looks *****in. He bought this to drive daily while his neon is being built up: He has a 95 Dark green 5 spd coupe that he's ..eh.. it's going to be scary. He bought a 2.4 turbo engine from a mexican stratus from ebay, he's putting new pistons, rods, rebuidling the whole block, garret T3 turbo, 75mm mustang tb, 3" exhaust system all the way back. Supposedly going to have over 400hp. Did I mention the thing will look almost completely stock? HehehhEheHEhHeh. Anyway, he's working on the spring this weekend. New intercooler, new clutch, and new brakes. - Ca$h |
