A friend of mine recently returned from the mainland, where he drove his "Brock Coupe" extensively over there. He also has a CAV GT-40. I was curious about how the Coupe did on cross country drive, day in, day out. He found it was SO comfortable that sometimes when they would stop for gas, or whatever, his wife would stay in the car! No need to get out and stretch or walk around, but entirely comfortable just to stay put. Man that speaks volumes about the comfort level.
I guess they call them SPF Coupes these days, but when they first came out "Brock Coupe" was a more common and well deserved term. To bad they seem to have gotten away from that...
He's also had the GT-40 on the mainland, as he stated, no comparison. The Coupe is far away the more comfortable car. He DID have a few 'issues' with the Coupe soon after the purchase, which were resolved over time. Fan relay was one (melted/burned out if I recall correctly). He also had one of those 'high dollar' alignments done somewhere in Calif, which he said made a considerable over all improvement. I think it's the only Coupe on the Island, sure draws a crowd when he pulls up. The rest of us just 'give up' if the Coupe is entered in any local car show, we don't have a chance. If he drives the Ferrari, no problem, people hardly notice...
