Well my new MCS is home. Haven't Christened it yet but my other car next to it is "SAVAGE65", hence my handle here. Don't they look good together?

Well, I can't top that but I do have something to ride on those days when a car just won't do.

Your Porsche is beautiful !! You mentioned some boost. Is that a modified 3.3 Turbo?

Seriously, I kept getting a "cannont display this page" message. It was easier to try it a few times then start over. Finally, I gave up and saw your message. Whoops. It's fixed.

Let me park it on your foot and you tell me if it's real.

Your beast is awesome. Mine can do an 11.6 at 123 mph in the 1/4. I'm sure it would be close. Top gear is only good for 170. But it gets there fast! Good traction!

Savage65,

I almost bought a Cobra in late 61. Drove it at a Ford dealership in Concord, CA and decided I was not going to pay $7,000.00 for any car. BIG MISTAKE

SO, when the MINI came out I said I'm not making the same mistake twice! I bought the car I wanted this time. My neighbor has a Cobra (replica) and I want to get him on a REALLY curvey course in the parking lot.

Earl

Yes, it would be close. I would have the upper hand until about 80 mph but after that your aerodynamics will give you a considerable edge. It could all come down to who hooks up best.

I'm just on street tires but the rear end is set up for a superb hookup, with positraction also. No 1/4 mile runs with this setup though. Maybe this summer?

Wonderful pictures. Take more outdoors if you get a chance. How do you compare your rides?
