More Power, More Power, More Power are the top three reasons that I'd buy an MGC or MGC-GT. Oh yeah, that and the fact that they are fast becoming a highly desirable collectible due to the small numb

All this may be true, but these aren't always purely rational decisions, are they? I mean, on a purely rational level, a Miata is probably a better call. Or an Accord Coupe. I want an MGC because th

That the C has heavy handling is true and well documented. But to echo Paul's comment, the C can absolutely be made to handle well. The car has a long and prestigious racing history which illustrate

While I understand some people get attracted to cars that would appear to most as mundane and pedantic I cannot see why, if power is what you want, you do not go the MGB V8 route. The C is a pig eve

On the other hand, an MGB-V8 (in the USA) is a homebuilt curiosity, while an MGC is the rarest MG since the TwinCam. So I can understand where Albert is coming from, looking at it as a collector, at

On the MGC is relatively easy to tune the supension to get decent handling. It is also fairly easy to improve the power. I use a sorted MGC with around 175 bhp and an honest 130 mph top end, and it i

Having owned several MGC's, my first MG was a B GT in the early 70's. The GT is the best balanced and under rated in all catagories, and the 'C GT' to me is the best of all the of that series and typ

Max Heim SEZ - I agree on the V8 issue. A home made V8 is little more than somebody's kludgey hotrod kit car. BTW, what's the proportion of MGC roadsters to GTs? I think I've only ever seen one MGC r

Paul M. SEZ - Like I said in my comment about handling, it's not that the MGC is a bad car, it's just a little less than perfect. For die-hard MG fans, less than perfect is atypical of the marque. :-
