SPF Coupe Owners: vs MkIII?

[Doug Axelrod]

Well, love my SPF MkIII on the road and on the track. But it's hard to be a daily driver (unless you're Copple) with low rain resistance, even with the hard top. And I was impressed by the Coupe at the Oltoff event in Charlotte and unimpressed with the MkIII cornering at Putnam Park versus...well....basically everything.

Now, I love the cobra shape, sound, and thrust, but am thinking about net enjoyment per unit time, on the road AND track.

So those of you with experience with both, what do you say?
best,

Doug,
They really are 2 different rides. The Coupe is a more refined touring car. While it is still a real kick,as a closed A/C'd car with power steering it loses some of the visceral feel of the roadster. We're selling one of ours now( a Coupe or Roadster) and when all the debris is cleared from these Dearborn Deuces we'll replace which ever one goes. I ride motorcycles, so if I only could keep one it would probably be the roadster, but I do like the way the Coupe drives on a trip. It also seems to get more miles to the tank. Maybe because of the airflow,but it could be the small block that is required as opposed to a big block which occupies many roadsters.
