I don't know about lacking power enough to have a damn good time in one. Gary Patterson took me for a couple of hair raising laps around the neighborhood in Vagas in a supercharged model. I do not remeber the thing going straigh for more than 10-15 yards at a time. Then again, Gary could make a freeking Yugo feel like that without much trouble.

Back in the days before I got the Kirkham, we were talking to a dealer from Florida who showed up with some demos at the Historics. Seemed like a damn nice car back then...especially compared to the first generation Vipers with truck motors and cub scout pup tents for convertible roofs.
