This may sound lame but I’m looking at the 911 and the 350 from a fuel economy angle. [/ QUOTE ] That is lame, reconsider please. You won't be driving it enough for that to even matter from the sound of it. Unless it's a daily driver it really doesn't matter anyway. Your Superbee sounds awesome. Exactly what I'm talking about.

For the record I had a 66 289 mustang coupe when I was 17, it was OKAY, nothing special, I dont reccomend it really. I currently have a 93 wrangler w/ 35 inch tires (a [censored] blast), and a superbee w/ the engine pulled, getting ready to send off to the sandblaster. The superbee is a bitch of a car, huge, fast, and slick, I cant wait till that gets done.

Re: Buying a car to have fun in
If I had $55K to blow on a car it would be this:
 Impractical, uncomfortable, and probably a death trap, but a hell of a sports car. Braking/cornering is unsurpassed at this price point.

Re: Buying a car to have fun in

I nearly bought a cheap non-running Triumph Spitfire a few weeks ago but some [censored] beat me to it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] That's a damn shame. Part of the beauty of the older cars are the ability to actually do some work on them with having to hook a Cray up to them. Rebuilding an old Spitfire would have kicked ass. Guids: A buddy of mine in high school had a '71 or '72 Super Bee. His brother had installed a blower in it, and it was the only car in the school that could pull the front wheels off the ground. It was black, had the sweet yellow-and-black bee painted on the hood. I had a '67 Riviera in high school that was spotless. It had a 430ci, 4bbl, dual exhaust, an enormous steering wheel, rotary speedometer, and a cavernous back seat. For tooling around town and just enjoying a drive, it was a classic. Some clown racing thru the alleys t-boned me and it was never the same. This is the same car, except I had a black top and white leather interior.

Re: Buying a car to have fun in
The worst part of missing out on the Spitfire was that it was likely my own damn fault. I found it in one of those free used car classified mags they have in stores. They only wanted $850 for it, said the body and top were in good shape, was kept in storage, and that it "ran when parked". So it probably didn't need a ton of work. Problem was it was located about a two hour drive from me and I dicked around for awhile about risking most of a day going to look at it in case their description in the ad was FOS plus trying to find someone to haul it back for me. By the time I decided to take the chance it was too late.
Still pissed about it.
