Only if you have a tow rope - my Roadster hasn't rolled under it's own power
since G.W.'s
daddy was President.
It's not about the technical excellence of the car - advancements in suspension
and engine
technology almost guarantee that a '94 /anything/ will be capable of
outhandling and
outrunning a 1970-vintage car - it's about the "zing!".
(Wait for my reply to "datsunmike" to hit the list... )
