On new sport cars I just bought my second Crossfire. A coupe to go with the
roadster. Not fast but handle like a dream.  96%  German parts and built by
Karmann.   My Tiger will last  longer now.   Gary   B9472283

Well I do have a Sunbeam Tiger and Ive never checked its weight BUT I am
considered an"overload" and 0 to 60, I cant guess-- torque- it has plenty and
fun is abundant- otherwise I'm driving my 1993 Chevy Blazer my broNlaw was
going to send to the junk yard when he bought a much nicer and newer model.
He
is in WVa and I told him that was an easy $1000
in southern IL. It too has no record of 0to60, but it gets 15mpg no matter
how
I drive and the bondo that broNlaw had installed, so it would pass inspection
is starting to show. I did recently buy 2 front tires and a new muffler and
tail pipe- total, including labor and disposal of old tires $300. You guy's
have it to rough, to bad your not as lucky as me. Ok, maybe there is another
Tiger or 3 hidden about but they(but 1) are pretty rough. Not counting the
Alger that the body guy was going to have done in 6weeks, some 12-15 years
ago- maybe I should take him paint BUT he would then ask me to remove it from
his shop. He wrote the contract.I am glad he did great body work. I did well,
I sold the Alpine guy that sold me the S5 a S4 a few months back. I think it
will be a parts car but it was driven to a body shop where it sat for years
before he finally caved in to selling it to me- so it was driven in.
My story of the week BUT I promise, ALL true.

This must be the time for new car purchases!  I picked up a 2009 Infiniti
G37X
AWD sedan recently.  The car seats five, weighs 3,807lbs and the 3.7 litre V6
puts out 328 hp @ 7,000 rpm with torque at 269 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm. . 0 -  60
takes  5.1 seconds and includes a spare tire. I'm sure the 7 speed auto trans
helps in the acceleration.
