Wow. It is a '95 R2, and there are only 57 of those that made it to the states, out of 500 total 1995 model years.

As for the fuel economy, these cars were rated using the old EPA method, so the numbers look better than they really are compared to today's cars.

As for the fuel economy, my '87 Turbo would easily get 24 on the highway if I kept it around 65MPH. City, 17MPG? No way. More like 14.

What next again?

I was driving in alongside a Holden-badged SS for a while this morning. Damn, it looks nice. It has the gears turning again. It's amazing the difference a badge makes.
