Yeah, I am with you guys, let’s get back to basics and real sports cars.
Let’s see, I had a MG in college…
First, dump the torque converters and the power assisted clutches,
Next, the power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors and auto rear spoiler have to go.
Dump the stereo, the air conditioning, windshield washers, headlight washers, clock, pollen filters and courtesy lights.
Get rid of the rear seats, the power/heated front seats, the tinted windshield, green side glass, rear defroster, rear wiper and sunroof.
Then cut out the electronics such as the rev limiter, cruise control, trip computer, litronic headlights, OBC, ABD, LSD, ABS, central locking system, varioram, fuel injection, dual distributor.

Real sports cars, like the Jag XK 120 OTS.

You guys first.

And then Porsche would go out of business because very few would buy the cars unless they sold a whole lot more Peppers.
