Flat 4 boxer engine and rear wheel drive with Thorsen LSD and 4 wheel independent suspension and great 4 wheel disc brakes. Very neutral handling, 16" center of gravity, only 2700 lbs, and a drag coefficient of .27. I also get 32 mpg's in the city and 38 on the highway. She handles very well and comes with competition style seats from the factory. She only came with 200 hp which is just about even with my '97 Boxster with 201 hp, however any and every kind of aftermarket power increase is available for it. Tons of storage space as the design requirements were that it can carry 4 full size race tires, a jack, and a tool box to go track racing on the weekend. Handling is fantastic and steering is precise. Only $27000 new out the door.

Lovely car, although not at all comparable to the Boxster though. It has a little too much roof....
