Not Ranked
Well,,,,about one month after selling my FFR,,I ordered a GT40 from New Zealand.
I should be ready to ship by the end of the month!!!!
Other cars I considered at the time were:
The new cobra mustang-
pros: it comes with a warranty and has creature comforts w/lots of torque
cons: it is an overweight pig which means hard on tires/brakes, etc on a roadcourse,,,,,
also lots of customer complaints & quality issues
pantera
pros: exotic italian styling w/ford drivetrain
cons: awkward cockpit fit for 6 foot driver, high cost to make on a decent track performer, hard to find rust free 30yr old cars
countach replica actually this was my wife's choice....
pros: looks cool
cons: of the ones I saw,,you have a choice of 90 percent grabage and about 9 percent junk.
The only company that had an impressive countach ,,,was in New Zealand (Countess mouldings)
ultima
pros: killer looks & performance potential
cons: cost to finish properly
used 80's testarossa
pros: I just looooove the looks, have driven a few, and serviced a couple in my shop....
prices have finally come down to "reasonable" levels. (around 45-55k)
cons: price of parts, dependability, & fragility of italian build
new mini cooper S
pros: totally cool car,,,,a blast to drive, nice mods available,, affordable,,,and can be driven daily. Heck, loaded with all the factory perfromance toys, they are right at 25k,,,,what a deal!
cons: my Dad beat me to it and already has one, the exact same colors I would choose. (indigo blue w/checkered roof),,,,, so I can just "borrow" his once in a while.
67-70 fastback mustang
pros: great looks, dependable drivetrain, can be driven daily
cons: cost to complete a nice one as much as a cobra or other more "gaga" toy.
hard to find rust free, uncrashed chassis
