962 seems to me to be the ultimate sports racer of the 20th C, Nothing could beat it for a decade during which Ferrari abandoned sports car racing.

333SP is ok but I want to stay away from carbon fiber & computers cus they r too much trouble. If you have any engine problems with a 333 you have to send it to Italy and wait a year & pay $100k & maybe they will send it back. No way I'm putting up with that.

with a 962 its a tube frame I believe, Or is it a monocoque? with a fiberglass body, you can drop in a flat 6 from any 80s or later 911 & fly & I mean FLY!!!!!! those things will blow the doors off a 333SP like it was parked :-) & at half the $ , Cant beat that

William, did you see the IRS auction for the F40LM in Orlando? I'd figure you'd be the first to jump all over that.

Still thinking what i'm gonna buy myself in 14 months when I hit 40. These are my top 2 toys on my list, within reach at least. A Gulfstream jet would be really cool but thats not gonna happen :-)

The 962 has the upper hand right now, its tough to beat, maybe I'll paint it red & paint a big Cavallino Rampante on its roof :-)
