How about this, a 360-hp Ford (small block) in a 1960 Healey. These are beautiful cars, but their suspension is, well, "stiff".

I used to race a guy who had one, I was in a '65 Alfa Gulia Spyder at the time, with a superior suspension by far, but with far less torque. It was amazing that with all the differences between the cars, over the road we were often neck and neck.

In any case, I also knew a guy who had a SBF in one, and it really did act and sound like a poor mans Cobra. So many cars, so little time!

I (sorta) know a guy from another messageboard that has one w/ a SBF in it. Hes a gun nut too, so you'd probibly get along just fine with him P. Although, he lives in kalifornia.

I've just done three projects in a row in CA, from San Diego, SF, Fresno, spending my way across the state, probably spent upwards of 100 million dollars. I've run into lots of people out there, and there are some good ones, and then there are some who you would just like to grab, turn em around, and twist their arms until they scream bloody murder.
