Ruf 911
It has certainly happened in the 914 world. Having two trunks for batteries and being able to balance the mid-engine weight distribution is a plus.

Personally I'd park my Box and drive an econo-box until I could afford to let Jake loose on it.

Which I plan to do anyway when I can afford it.

Unless the liberal marxists further wreck my 401s with a few trillion spent here and a few trillion there.
