A proper sports car needs to have a manual crank start, no sissy electric start motor, manual spark advance, a huge wheel with no nanny power steering, externally oiled valve train so a mechanic needs to always ride shotgun to keep the motor from seizing, fully manual trans with no nanny synchros, no sissy seatbelts, airbags or other safety devices. Get real!



This is Barney Oldfield after the 1916 Indy 500

Progress marches on, PDK all the way!
