And wood is never light. For comparable strength aluminum and steel are much lighter than wood.

Balsa is light. The pictures don't look like balsa.
The cars I was thinking of are 944, 944S, and VW GLX, none especially slow. I was thinking more of potential top speed.

On the back window it looks like the asking price is $1200, but he wanted $1600 for it. I also like "He works on CRX's constantly and is a certified mechanic". No doubt about that. I'm sure it requires constant attention.

My cousin is into the performance import scene, not the bling-bling crowd. He bought a Civic beater when he took his Supra down to install a big turbo and some other engine work to get him up to around 450hp. He made a mockery of the Rice scene with that Civic. He nailed a Wooden spice rack to the trunk, made a Folgers coffie can exhaust tip, and put a "Nauz" switch on the dash. I think he drove it until it quit running because he never bothered to put oil in it. I think he left it on the side of the road. That car was hilarious.
