I like the vet Greg . It's looking real good. I have a issue with the steering being to heavy. I'm going to tackle soon. I'm Really liking my mods. Maybe a zo6 in the future.

I have a list of cars. My top 2 would be either a nsx or viper. Love the looks of both and around here you hardly see them, especially a nsx.

You just about hit the nail on the head with me. (except for the Mustang. Prolly great cars, but just can't do the Ford thing) I think the OP might have been asking more about 2 seaters, but Muscle cars are pretty sporty. And I love my Corvettes.
