I love the 3000 for it's ease of use.... want the top up.... grab it throw
it up... want it up in a Hundred... get out your erector set....
Heat.... yeah the 3000 has damn little if you can imagine doubling it in
the 100
and the raw power of a 3000 is awesome... the 100 isn't down on Power...
but it isn't the same kind.... it makes a ton of Torque down low... and
loves Lower RPM.... Red line is like 4600.... maybe 47 don't remember... it
dies above 4 anyway....
and of course it doesn't weight as much.... which makes it a ton spryer....
oh and the folding windshield is Pure SEX... I have never put mine up in
the last ahhh ten years.... sorry it just looks great...
Just a much simpler Sports car.... drive a stock bugeye and a Box sprite...
same difference... want a real shock.... if they were all lined up and
ready to go... and impressions weren't important.... HELL I WOULD DRIVE THE
BOX SPRITE EVERYTIME.... I really love that car....
