Nice Mike! How does it drive compared to an AW?

Not that I'm mike, but they drive very nicely, albeit in factory form, a bit softer.

With the soft top they have a bit less head room than an AW, with the hard top, about the same.

~140HP, and thats plenty to get yourself in trouble... and if it's not, there are plenty of either 2zzge or turbo conversions available that take them right up to ~600HP for the top ones.

One of the more interesting conversions I've seen was with a rotrex centrifugal super charger running on stock internals, and putting out ~300HP, giving wheelspin in third gear at 100MPH. Sounds like some scary fun.

Don't mind taunts of hairdresser etc. It just makes it so much more satisfying when you whip the pants of somebody in a 'hairdressers car'. :D
