I don't knoiw if it is a lot slower than my 240D 4spd. I live in the high desert mtn's of La County. and my 240 holds her own in thevalley on the freeways. Granted no speed demo0n coming back up the 14 home, but on a good day I can peak the Escondido Summit at 55mph. With these "slow" cars you learn two terms. "Momentum", and "Foot to the floor."

nice looking car, wish it was here in so cal.

Kinda got excited till I saw the price! For almost $4,000 I want AC.

The coolness factor is immense and you'll probably get the highest MPG's you can ever get with a 123 in that car. But the lack of A/C kills it for me. Of course you could install an aftermarket one. I had one in my 200 gasser I had in South Africa and it worked well.
