There was two options and the miller cycle engine was definately the way to go. Lovely car for their day but were way over priced and suffered horrendous resale value. Very few were sold.

Very limited options for modding to.

As for the above comment about the cosmo do it. Think of it as a grown ups rx7. Most are auto, they are bigger and you can get bulk horsepower out of it. Only issue is parts and the whole dash is electronic. Try and get a price to replace that if it fails. My mate has one with the plates 'yodas 20b'. Engine has been rebuilt and dowelled etc and it goes very hard.
