I have trouble believing a Spitfire can chase a (6 cyl.) Porsche UP any hill!
Going down hill may be another story!

Long ago I built a muscle car that not only WENT fast it also TURNED and
STOPPED quickly. I define this to be a complete performance car. Any car that
can accelerate quickly but cannot reliably STOP quickly is very dangerous! My
home-brew car embarrassed several "traditional" sports cars ('Vettes, too).
But it finally wore out...

Since the automotive world gave up on *AFFORDABLE* performance automobiles,
I've turned to performance motorcycles. Few motor thrills equal a fast,
spirited ride up (or down) a twisty canyon road. However, motorcycles aren't
very much fun in the rain...

The last few responses I've read to "re: Insanity..." seem to want handling
*OR* horsepower. Why not both? I sure like having both! I admit that the
combination is far more expensive in four wheel varieties than two wheel. So
I'll move my discussion over to net.cycle now...

HORSEPOWER FOREVER!
