Road & Track "Fun" Cars Article

The August issue of R&T has a summary of 12 "Fun" cars to drive, and yup, our MCS is in it. The other cars include: Scion xB, Dodge SRT-4, Ford Mustang GT, Lotus Elise, Subaru WRX STi, BMW M3, Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche Boxster S, Dodge Viper SRT-10, MB E55 AMG, Porsche Carrera S. Of course, the MCS is first

Here's a few of the pages for your reading pleasure...

The fact that they included a Scion xB there just cheapens the entire list.

Apart from that inclusion (my personal prejudices aside), the rest of the list looks pretty accurate. I'd love to have/drive any of them. Well... I'd love an SRT-4 if it didn't look like a damn Neon. Otherwise it's one damn fast, quite inexpensive car.

Thanks for scanning it early! Is it me, or is there a way to blow the picture up and read it? I could be lost...

Naw, i think it's the re-sizing the forum software does...best is to download it to your HD and then read/print.

Or, try this link http://webpages.charter.net/cwraight...20Aug%2005.pdf I put the original scans into a PDF.
