should be able to find one cheap.

what ever you do, make the exhaust extra low noise or a fart can system.
then when they least expect it, push the button to open the electric cut outs
so that cam can be felt and heard sitting next to them at the light.

Then again so is this one!!




So I think I've narrowed it down to either the
1) MG MGB
2) 1992 Porsche 911
3) 1997 V8 Vantage.

Lofty expectations huh?? Lol.
Whatever comes cheapest I guess, don't care if they are in pieces or a project car...it's what it's gonna be anyways!!

Yeah absolutely, that's actually how my truck is. With the cutouts closed it sounds pretty stock except for a hint of lope but that could be played of as anything. With them open it sounds pretty ridiculous.

Lol, you mean there's a soft spot inside that rough exterior?!?
Actually I just looked on ebay and they are like cheap as you couldn't imagine and some are in sorry shape so it would be resurrecting it rather than destroying it. Don't worry about the Austin as those are impossible to find one I would assume. But MG's are like bug's there's a crap load of them! Now I gotta find a good one and see what Rick thinks!

Hmmm... Porsche or MG??

Would you really consider Porsche a sleeper??? Even the older/slower ones were pretty quick.

Just my 2 cents.
