a lot of power to weight does not make a sports car .
in 1962 [ first year] these types had 25.6 Lb/HP, in 76 it was 42.3 , last year of production in 1980 it was 37.4 ....62 HP out of a 110cid/1800 CC engine would be pretty shabby these days[Honda CRX 1.6i-VT, 150 bhp variant]
on some of my other sites the consensus of the very experienced drivers is that those who train in lower powered machines develop superior technique, learning to manage the task ..of getting around
trailing throttle
Glossaryinto the curve ,
Glossarytrail braking to the selected apex and power out
there may be those who thing those techniques do not apply to FE , i contend that if one can corner with minimum application of brake its all for the good, conservation of momentum is the name of that game
thats what i like about Le mans .. all those different classes on the road at the same time
where are those civics , they look like *sports* cars too
