I agree with MFB totally. The T/A will leave an S2k in the dust on a straight line, but if the guy doesn't appreciate the chasis (or know how to use it), he's just wasting a beautiful machine. Now, a WS6 T/A weighs much more, so on the track or in the slalom, the S2K has a definite edge. My opinion is that these are two cars which excell at what they are meant to do: the S2K is a touring roadster that does everything very well. A total balance. The Bird on the other hand, is just meant to light the tires and have a really nasty engine note. Other than that, the brakes are inadequate for the weight and power, a solid beam rear axle is from like 1920, the clutch requres brute force to engage, and rowing the gears is a better work out than five sets of curls at your local Ballys. In my opinion, it's a chore to drive a muscle car, while it is absolutely enjoyable to drive a roadster. But, hey, to each his own.
