SPGs are great, but performance wise not far off from a 16 valve 5 speed turbo, which can be modified pretty easily to exceed the performance of a factory SPG. SUre the plastic cladding is cool, the suspension is lower, and there is a bit more hp but I think you would do well to look at other models. Any car of this age is a project, look for rust issues, rebuilt trannys, head gasket replacements, leaks, etc. who did what and when. Remember a performance model such as an SPG was not purchased to drive to church on Sundays....most likely its been run hard and worn out before its time. My .02 of course
