Well, I've ridden in a GT6 (although not a sterling example by any
means), so I can tell you that it is much more cramped feeling inside. OK
leg room, but tighter everywhere else. They are quick, as you would
expect with a 2-liter 6 in a Spitfire-size car. They have IRS, and can be
made to handle very well, I understand. In general, compared to a MGB-GT,
I would characterize it as racier, but not quite as comfortable or
practical for daily use. Might get pretty warm in the cockpit in the
summer, too, I suspect. But I admit I always thought they were pretty
cool...
