Paul, roger the big block Grifo or any other Iso for that matter! I saw a Bizz 5300GT at a local shop that had a 454-ZF 5spd, very interesting. I think I'd prefer a small block version (327-365) though. Lashdeep | |||

I (somewhat controversially) actually agree with Allan. The 360/355 are certainly NOT manly cars. In my opinion a "manly" car has to go as far as possible as precluding women from a) being ABLE to drive it OR b) WANTING to drive it. (because it looks soo "macho" etc..) A Daytona/BB must be top candidates. | |||

So, um... did we ever come up with an exact definition for 'manly'...? Are we talking about a car that doesn't look capable to help with the laundry or dishes or a car with a DESign committed to catering to the needs to beer-bellied couch potatoes...? i missed it, i guess... i only ask, 'cause i'd soon like to start a thread asking your opinions on the ten most feminine italian cars... ...my belief is that most of the responses here will be in that thread, too. | |||

Rijk - You sure did! I drove it upstate for the weekend. Had a blast driving it on the country roads. It sticks to the long sweepers better than my WRX. I had to stop off in the city on the way home. The car doesn't like bumper to bumper traffic. Water temp kept climbing, so I was giving the car a rest on the Upper East Side. I did get to meet an East Side resident who says that he holds the Battery Tunnel speed record (145mph in a 996 Turbo shortly after 9/11). I tend to agree that the record is his. Am planning to service my car next week so that I can continue to pass through the city without things heating up too much. Say hello the next time. Great Daytona......Jordan | |||

Personally, I find the TZ-2 more feminin than male with her curvy and soft shapes but then again that is a matter of taste. You can now order your brand new TZ-1 in Italy for around $ 150,000. Jack | |||

First i looked at this thread... Thought it was a little off color to ask which are the most "manly" cars, but then again, i've been known to be a little too PC... Then i bounce around and come to this thread... Then i laugh to myself, recalling an article Nika wrote, mentioning how she taught herself how to heel/toe in heels... Maybe i'm not 'too' PC after all... | |||
