750hp, actually the Cobra is first on the list but yes, an Austin Healey would get my blood pumping too. The only problem is, as we get older, we remember when we passed on those cars years ago when they were cheap and it is hard to swallow the appreciation in price now! Plus after having a lot of the older Euro cars, they handle great but don't have a lot of power. After going through the twin turbo BMW lately, I now have a need for speed!
Back in my undergrad days, I wanted a nice European convertible and found a 1975 Alfa Romeo Spider and an Austin Healey. The AH had a little water in the oil but was perfect otherwise. I bought the Alfa for $2800 and a friend picked up the AH for $600. The water in the oil turned out to be a head gasket and he ended up with a heck of a deal. The Alfa ended up with water in the oil later and I had to change that head gasket after all too.
I also remember driving by a car lot everyday and they had a Pantera for sale for $4000 and they couldn't sell it!
