A comment in the help-with-the-ideal-3-vehicle-fleet got me thinking about something..  could you build a 3 car 213 garage?

You could fill a garage with a -

1) A Ford P71 for Rally, Long Distance Driving, Drifting and other Body on Frame RWD shenanigans.

2) A Chevrolet Silverado Z71 for Towing, adventuring, A camper, and Off Road mayhem. Honorable mention for the Colorado Z71's.  

3) A ???????71 sports car

 

 

And yes I realize you all will argue that the P71 is already a sports car or can be turned into one but lets ignore that possibility.    What sports car would fit the '71' code?

It can ideally have a project code that ends in 71 like the P71.  It can be marketed as something with 71 in it (718 spyder/cayman perhaps but that is 7-18 not 71-8?).  I suppose worst case it can be a car from 1971 (240Z of some kind probably winner here).

 

So what would you include?

Apparently if you convert "7D1" from hexadecimal to decimal you get 2001. 

Soooo, 2001 Miata?

How about something with an 8-71 supercharger?

Why not add one to all 3 vehicles?

AE71 Toyota Corolla?? Preferably like Oldeskewltoy's with a healthy 4A-GE and a six-speed manual. Perhaps not the quintessential sports car, but if a P71 can be argued to be a sports car...

For those of us that are a bit clueless what is a 213 garage?

71x3=213, so 3 cars with 71 in the name add up to a 213 garage.

Yeah you got it.  It's nothing important.  I just had this idea and thought it would be an intriguing title.  Also I'm glad my math was right.  How embarasing it would of been if I got it wrong..

These are good suggestions.  I like the idea of a heavily modified Corolla or the Motorcycle.  That thing looks hilariously fun.    Though I also like Robbie's Lotus 7S1 as that would be a fun car and alot like the motorcycle in many ways.

1 fiat x1/9

If you replace the letters with their numerical position in the alphabet and add them all together you get 71.

1+6+9+1+20+24+1+9=71
