What other cars should I be considering beyond a Cobra?

C8 ZR1, 1064 hp, 233 top end. All for a meager base price of $174K!

The car I like driving the most is my classic 1993 SAAB 900 turbo convertible ! I know i can hear the groans but i have warmed over the turbo and performance is great and smooth and comfortable , like a Jet Fighter For The Road!

***Groan***

But hey - to each his own. I'm no better; this is what's tugging at my heartstrings right now. A brand-new manufactured, 296BHP Ford Escort Mk1 RS

Had one of those (Modified Escort 1300 GT) in my very early twenties - only 110HP. Hit the mountain head on driving to work one morning Went A over K once then rolled back down to land on roof facing the way I had come from. Roof V'd down to dashboard. Fortunately had full harness seat belts so no injuries for passenger and me (Thanks Britax).

Learnt a lot of lessons from that experience that have kept me safe behind the wheel. Aah the over confidence of youth!!!!!! Don't think you can handle anything fancy until you have safely and successfully tried it.

One of the cars I learned to drive in was my uncle's 1300 Escort. I loved that car but unfortunately he was a grumpy old judge and he used to drive to work in his robes and the stupid looking judge's wig on his head. For some reason I was getting a ride to school with him one morning and he drove so damn slowly that two of my friends on racing bicycles overtook us. Being a kid, that embarrassed the hell out of me and I asked him if he could speed up a bit because bicycles were passing us. He promptly stopped the car and told me to get out. On top of enduring jokes about being overtaken by bikes, I also got into trouble for being late.
I did have the pleasure of riding and racing later on in a Twin Cam Escort against Cortina GT's etc. and the MK1 holds a special place in my heart.
