Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

That car was sensational in build quality.... but it was such a "sleeper" that it didn't garner the excitement it should have IMHO.

I would recommend a C3 Corvette. The detachable hardtop has as good or better lines than the coupe itself. 68-72 Chrome Bumper project cars can be had for less than $10k, with post 72 rubber bumper cars cheaper than that. You will find that building a pro-touring vette does not cost what most people think.
