The proposed monopine design is appropriate in this setting and would soften views of the facility, particularly from residential properties to the north and south.” The study looked at both year-round and seasonal visibility of the tower, the latter considering how visible the tower would be when local trees shed their leaves. Overall, it found the visibility would impact areas within 1.1 miles of study area, with 43.8 percent of the areas impacted being town-owned sites, including Middlebrook School.

It's not unusual to see project C4s  packing over 500 horsepower if they've been engine swapped, even if they don't look that different on the outside. Even without turning the car into a tire-shredding sleeper, the C4 can leave plenty of its peers from the era in the rearview, at least in a straight line.

For less than $10K, though, a C4 might just be all the project car you need, and then some. An '88 example recently sold on Bring a Trailer for $9,000, ...
