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. |

Replying to: guss (Jan 13, 2009 11:13 am) Not with a fourth movie (starring Vin Diesel, apparently) in the works, and teenagers everywhere playing "Need for Speed" on their video game systems. My son, apparently, is one of them. His dream car is an RX-8, lowered and modded to heck and back. |
