atleast you didn't have an 80's car.. lol


you know the worst part?

my first one, the Renault encore GS.. ALMOST had as much handling as the MSP.. it was incredible at the time... 900 kilograms, on 195/65HR/14's pirellis..
and the sway bars were as big as the msp's.

but had a 85 HP engine LOL ..still made it to 100 MPH..
 
its that 5hp that makes all the difference LOL


they had a bigger manifold with less restriction lol

but the close ration tranny DID help alot..

and all those enocres were EFI.. not bad for 1985

oh and remote keyless entry LOL
 
heres a look of a typical one.. i had the exact wheels..
