Thanks for Bday wishes. Mine was actualy the 425 horse model ( in stock form) with a two four barrel carbs. At one point I handed the motor over to a famous machinist for some slight upgrades and to a speed shop for balancing. After that it was just a brute, and the best fun!
Back in my early twenties we used to race towns (from one to another). Silly stuff but Hey, I was just home from Vietnam |

...Those were the times. In my early twenties, what is now my daily commute, I used to do in less time with a Renault 4 (cheap popular car, small engine 4 sp) than I do now with the Mercedes Benz. |

Those had good brakes, and good mass distribution, the transmission is centered, once you get used to the lever. The soft suspension would let the car lean a lot on turns, but a sway bar could be installed to correct that. . Sometimes less is more. The car is so ugly that is funny... |
