And now for something completely different...
Look at the toy I got to ride in the other day. Pretty quick little unit. And I mean little !

Those 550 Spyders are a hoot. Think of it as a German Cobra. Great in an autocross.

Vellly nice Dr Jones...
I admit they are one of my favorite convertables too.. except that I would want the Subaru flat 4 motor with turbo.. (300 + hp) That would be one heck of a road race machine !
The version you have is sweet.. immaculate looking too !

If I recall correctly, it is one of Chuck Beck's. Go to the Spyder Club forum -- you'll find out more than I can tell you about these things.

I saw one at a car show here in Richmond last year. The guy had shoehorned a Porche 911 motor into his. Very nice.
I hate to say it but a turbo vw powered Beck Spyder romped all over the Cobras in the Auto cross/Slalom in my Run and Gun 92 (93?) tape.
Nice cars but I gotta have the Big Block sound!

Auto cross generally favors "smaller" cars. In that respect a BB Cobra is NOT a small car. In my Excalibur on a given track or day I could beat a Vette and LOOSE to a Datsun 240Z!
I'm thinking these Spyders would be an awesome Autocross car!

Ben,
Nice seats and great shifter. How were the seats for support?

The seats were okay. The seats in Mikiec's FFR are much more comfortable and at least as supportive. (Mike has the Tri-States seats.)
The 550 is so small that you're really shoulder to shoulder -- kind of crowded. And I'm a narrow framed guy -- 6' 1", 170 lbs and only wear about a 40L coat, if that gives you any idea.
I can see how they would really do well in autocross. Small. Light. Mid-engined. I have a tape of Run'n Gun '93, and Chuck Beck easily set fasted time on the slalom course. (Of course on the drag strip, the Cobras ruled...).
Ben
