Cobalt? Most people think that my '04 GTO is one of those things, in spite of the custom plate that plainly and clearly exclaims 'GTO'!. While this car can run rings around my late TR-7, the Triumph was waaay more fun. And it had ice-cold home-made A.C. along with the drop-top. Perhaps I need to find a TR-8.
Follow Ups:
The Triumph handles as though there are suction cups on each tire. I put a set of Webers on mine, plus re-curved the distributor. Also had a tubular exhaust header. But still only 90 or 100 horses.
only 90 horsepower (and I'm certain more than a few of those horses had died by the time the car fell into my hands) but it was the most fun-to-drive car I ever owned.
TR-8 had the great 3.5 engine that Buick and Oldsmobile gave up on, right? If I'm remembering my British engine-swap lore, the Rover V-8 is 40 lbs lighter than the B-series engine in the MGB.
I wouldn't be unhappy with a TR-7 or TR-8, only problem they're in the smog era. Would rather have something not de-smogged.
