  1. It may be quite a bit more dangerous than a modern car, but you can get killed in any car, and besides, you don’t intend to crack it up! You have the power to drive extra-safely. And if you do have an accident, despite all efforts to prevent it, that’s life. Or death. You cannot live in fear!

  2. Whoa Tedward! You have a sixth-sense for the cars that interest me most!

  3. This car is so light, the engine gets little resistance! It just revs! Wow! I always knew these cars were spectacular!

  4. It seems unlikely that he was speeding. If he had been, he would have violated the break-in requirements for the engine, and he would have lost his entourage. I don’t offhand know what eye-witness accounts said, but it’s likely that JD was NOT speeding, or otherwise driving recklessly.

  5.  @jarekstorm6331  Yes, but only if they’re good, i.e. drive like a real sports car, i.e. like they should! My first choice would be an AC (Shelby) Cobra, original (not a chance) or high-quality replica. Among replicars, this one is next. It looks very much like the original, with some of the performance of the original (don’t know how they compare, but it’s possible that the replicar’s better) thrown in!

  6. As far as using the Porsche badges is concerned, although it is not a Porsche build, it IS a Porsche design. That, together with the fact that no one is claiming any part of this car to be a genuine Porsche, justifies using Porsche badges.

  7. The “banjo” steering wheel on the Beck’s Spyder gives it a real classical look and, I’d imagine, feel.

  8.  @rustbeltrobclassic2512 Like they say, it can be more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow… and since slow cars are usually cheaper than fast ones… The Beck Spyder is way cheaper than a real Porsche Spyder, but it’s not THAT cheap, or I’d probably be driving one!

  9. Not to denigrate a VW powered Spyder, there is also a Subaru-powered version version that is significantly more powerful… Am not sure which is better, but the Subaru version IS Japanese, which is seldom a bad thing!
