Years ago I autocrossed a Sunbean Tiger -- Ford V8 -- owned a couple
Covettes later, one with a 454 engine. All the while I also rode a Honda
750 four when that bike was a standout-- 1970. Now drive a Prelude.
Enjoyed them all -- and love the Prelude probably the best because the
technology of today's cars is a heck of lot better than 35 years ago. The
new C5 Vette is impressive, but my heart would still be with a Honda 4
banger. The S2000 is for the price an outstanding bargain -- but so it the
Vette.
