WAY WAY better. Just beautiful and a built small block so it won't be as nose heavy and more fun to drive.

I've driven a Corvette of that era, and "fun to drive" aren't exactly the words I'd use. Though if you want to make a mid-90s Mustang feel excitingly futuristic, it's a good reference point.

Btw there are a bunch of fun neat new auctions starting today. A lot of cool stuff.

Like this rare odd ball.

Why am I wasting my time rebuilding mine again?

They are "fun to drive" but not in the way a Boxster is.

A '32 Ford isn't truly fun to drive in the modern sense either; that doesn't stop people from building them literally from scratch today. I'd love a mid-year Vette, but I'm pretty sure I would drive it rather differently than my M3.

Exactly.

I had muscle cars growing up. Heavy no turning no braking sleds. But fun in a different way.

Ok I think I am getting weird in my old age.

I actually think this thing is neat and I would daily drive the hell out of it.

I love the open pillar less window look and it's just a classic solid looking Merc.

I know. I am nuts.

That's not weird, that thing is cool. Especially given it has three pedals.
