Terrible straight-line performance for its power-to-weight ratio!

The Bricklin used an AMC 360 for 1974, and changed to a Ford 351W for 1975 (less HP). It was produced about 8 years before the Delorean.

The same story as with the DeLorean.
I love the way how this thing looks. Kinda a mixture of the classic Ferrari 328 and Vette C4. Very nice! But damn.. again.. technically - the same fail. Crap! It uses a Camaro engine, so what's a problem? 220 hp for 1975 - very good, 427 Nm - just perfect! 1616 kg was a moderate amount, so what the hell with this car? Oh, that's a shame... but could a legendary North American sportscar, in the same league as the Vette was...
