The V8 wagon is a GT musclecar - brawny, torquey, relatively heavy. I'd like to go for something totally the opposite in character: super light, lightning reflexes, droptop, minimal creature comforts and faster than stink. Oh, it should be street legal, so I don't have to tow it to the track and can drive it in the mountains. A Lotus Super 7 or replica comes to mind, though I find them a bit unattractive. How about a Midget or Sprite with a turbo rotary? Any kit cars out there that fit this profile? A 600 CBR would supply the thrills but wife.com won't get on one, and I'd like her to share the excitement. The budget, of course, is not unlimited, and I would enjoy building it myself. I look forward to your suggestions! -- '84 "285" rice-eater with lotsa hp & performance goodies Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
