Same engine as SVO Mustang and Turbo Coupes, but not intercooled from the factory. Very easy, though, and plenty of room, to install SVO or TC parts in the engine bay, which is the first step for most tinkerers. Very easy, and relatively cheap, to make these cars wicked fast.
Actual Cosworth body panels and such are getting rare, but there are fiberglass pieces out there.
German sports sedan performance (no really, these things weren't built in KC), for much less than, say, a BMW of the same period, in terms of acquisition and maintenance.
I want one, but there's just no room or budget in my life for a second car.
Oh, since Rara said "170 hp" I'm assuming he has the 5-speed. The ATX cars were detuned to 145 or so because of the weak tranny.
Every C3 I've ever touched was total crap!
