Over the years I progressively attempted to slake my manly thirst for hp, beginning with a bugeyed Sprite, then an AH 100 6, MGB GT, 280 Z, 240 Z w/carburetted & turbo'd 280Z motor, RX 7 TT and C5.
When I sold the C5 I wanted to return to a smaller, lighter sports car that would be more fun to drive around town than the Vette, which has to be given a lot of room to stretch its legs.
I pondered this for awhile and realized that the most fun car I'd ever had, the car I'd driven with atrocious abandonment of my 17 year old self preservation instinct and nearly killed myself in numerous times on country twisties in N.E. Ohio, was my bright red, 48 hp, '59 bugeye Sprite.
That old saw then suddenly rang true to me; It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.
Thus, not wanting to spend the money on an Elise (which wasn't designed for a 6'2" body), I bought the SC - which fulfills the fun-around-town desire perfectly.
However...IM(not so humble)O, nothing is more addictive than the intoxicating feeling of being mercilessly pushed into the seat-back while listening to the the thunder of a 'Merican V8 torque monster when ya put the hammer down,
Damn you!
Now I'm wanting another one.
