Go for it! I've actually investigated the possibility, and it seems like the 164 should be able to be pretty fast. It weighs just slightly more than a 75 (Milano), and has good power. It can be made to handle very well (for a FWD car). About the only problems are that you will need to upgrade the brakes for racing, and you need to find a racing class that willallow you to be competitive.

See the other thread about this subject for more details about others who have done this. There are a few 164s racing in the UK.

Cheers and good luck!
