Default What kind of car is this?

I was at walmart last night and this car parked next to me. I didn't have enough time to check what kind of car it was.

Anyone know? I'm curious on the specs and weight of this car?

A friend had one in high school. I think its got an old VW engine in it. (but I could be wrong) Its slow, but saw one once with a body kit (and I hate body kits) that made the car look really fantastic.

Looks 914/6 with the flares... but a lot of guys added them to the 4cyl.

Modified 914 or 916. I don't like that body kit but the original 914 was a classic inexpensive sporty car

914...916 is unlikely since there was only 1 imported by Porsche to the US.

They weigh about 2000lbs...and stock have pretty weak motors. Highest hp was 110hp. But careful...engine swaps were very popular...anything from 2.7L 911 motors to small block Chevy motors will fit.
