I'll let you take it for a spin at Woodward if you want, you can see for yourself if you like it or not.
I have to go with Apkano, as much as that bothers me.

I've driven/ridden in a lot of high powered cars, both US and imports. Most folks are too used to the 1972 and on gutting of horsepower "whine". Few seem to remember what a real car sounds like. It has a resonance at ~ 1500-2500 RPM depending on load. MUCH less in a roadster. If you've been in Valk's car (I have) it's about the same. And he has the much-vaunted Ansa muffler. I think the Ansa has a higher pitch. The Magnaflow is lower in tone. Both are nice sounding.

Take a ride with some one with either. Soon. You'll get hooked.

Enjoy.

And Jim (a friend who drove an hour to pick me up, then 1 1/2 hours to deliver me to Debbie), was saying, "Hey - I am NOT fat. This thing is the size of a go-kart"...

So, I stopped by work. The boss says I "look like Magnum PI with that car, bushy lip and baseball cap."

FP,
Carol's Roadster has this Magnaflow Catback and as you know I just drove it 300 miles a weekend back and I can say it has NO DRONE ....top up or down.
She still wants to do dinner on a weeknight with us so come on out and drive her car and see for yourself.
And as Max said it sounds a lot like my Ansa.

As I said in another thread.... I went on my first after-work errands last night with Little Debbie - never had so much fun. Never been stared at so much, either!

And the fact that it is an automatic? I can't believe I am saying this, but I almost think I LIKE IT. This little car is SO over-the-top fun, and if I meet a lady who can't hanlde a stick, she can still drive it.

.....not that I'd really let ANYONE ELSE drive this little red wonder!



And, as I told the lady who cuts my hair: "You may not think I'm sexy, and I'm fine with that..."

I was going to say, "but you know my car is".... before I could, she interrupted with: "But you are in THAT!"

It's a nice feeling isn't it!!! I remember having mine transferred from California to South Carolina....I was so anxious. They told me that it may be 2-3 weeks..but 1 week later out of the blue on a Sunday evening I get a call saying that it had arrived!! I think I was speeding from ignition to arriving at dealership and there she sat.....so gorgeous to my eyes. I knew she was coming home with me!! It was around 5pm and sky was a redish-purple which danced off the SSB Coupe ....I would have bought even without test driving!!! I did though LOL! Grats on your purchase and enjoy!!!

Beautiful roadsster, of course I'm a little biased.

Hey Pizzaguy. I am glad you found a ride. Now just sit back and enjoy. I don't like red much, but guess it will do.. (Just joking). Looks GREAT and I know you will have miles of smiles and style!! I hope some day we can get Debbie and my Sweetness together. It looks like they might be twin sisters!
