Just wondering how the 1800 stacked up against other 'sports cars' back in the mid-60's. I was talking to my neighbor (just turned 80) who is the original owner of a beautiful 1964 Porsche 356 Super 90. He told me that it is only 75 hp. It occurred to me later (days later) than an 1800S with dual carbs was good for 115 hp when new. But, with the car being larger and heavier, I doubt that it was actually faster than a 356 - or was it?

I know that the 544 won several competitions back in the day. Same motor and drivetrain, if I am not mistaken.
