The visibility is like that of the countach, it sucks. Blind spots galore.

Denting the stainless is alright as its not too bad. DMC can repair it as can anyone that knows how to work stainless. I had a dented panel I took to a local stainless steel biz to see if they could knock it out and $45 later it was perfect. Compared to the $110 an hour any DMC affiliated shop would charge.

The PRV is a good engine, if its maintained properly. The killer is the K-jetronic fuel injection. If not taken care of properly it will act up and when it does it is expensive. I was doing a 3.0 PRV swap which came factory with EFI.

So, who wants to put a 617 in one?
When I had mine I toyed with putting a TDI in it
