Hi tom,
Hope you get a car , I drive mine east of redmond a fair amount ,out fall city etc., Being a long time bike rider I can understand your point , but these cars dont begin to aproach the responce to braking and steering input that a bike will. My car is right about 500 hp ,I can honestly say the power to weight ratio is more of a hinderance than an asset , and iv'e driven hot rods and sport cars for 30 years........would I swap my side oiler for a mild 351??? .................no ,i dont think so ,
..but I have been thinking lately, that a 289 car would be a more pure performance sport car.
see you around
Karl
