Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 13, 2009 9:38 am) If that B had overdrive (most do) that works and isn't rusted, it's a fun car and pretty comfy compared to an open B roadster. I notice the ad says "new carburetors". I hope they didn't put Webers on it, that would be unfortunate and troublesome.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 13, 2009 10:11 am) i searched and can't find any specs on the car. Weight and hp are the stats I was looking for. Would you call it more fun, less fun, or same fun compared to an '86 Alfa Spider? I showed the GT to the wife and she said "sweet looking, but it would be too slow for you." She's probably right.  Sure, I like the twisties and have fun, but I find a car that takes 9 secs or more to hit 60 gets on my nerves.

The Alfa is much more refined though. MGs are primitive in comparison, especially in the ride. The MGBGT is a very practical car, though. That hatch opens up and you can stuff a lot in there. Fun car for weekend trips, presuming you get there of course.

Replying to: fezo (Jan 13, 2009 11:29 am) The answer to that question is "Mrs. Q," apparently. ooohhh... I almost forgot. This little item came through on one of my saved searches last night: '88 RX7 Exterior pics are pitiful, but the interior looks real sharp. And I'm really confused how one could follow up this: "Engine runs strong, always starts and has been well maintained" with this: "Engine has been rebuilt." ??? And something else I'm confused on... wiki says the vert was only N/A?? So what the hell is with the hood scoop? I thought only the turbos had the scoop? Am I incorrect? I know there was a non-scoop hood. So if this is N/A, and the vert brings the weight to 3k lbs, then this ain't the RX7 I'd want, I'm sure.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 13, 2009 11:38 am) wanna bet? MGBGT -- actually the GT has some advantages over the roadster. While it is a bit heavier, and hence a tad slower, it has a much bigger windshield and also much better weather protection as you can imagine. Otherwise, same car underneath. Think of it as a base model MINI at 1/5th the price. |
