The Chaparrals, Fords and the Lolas, and the Porsche 904, 907 are part of my wide eyed youth, and I remember being jaw dropped at age 13 seeing a Gulf 917 ripping around the East Banking at Daytona---"sportscar malevolence personified" is indeed the right terminology
I have said it before, I have always liked the open cars too. The 'romanace' of racing off into the murky night fully exposed
. But, I admit that was the terrain of the smaller capacity cars, the underdogs if you will, so that lent to their romance.
But there is something stirring about the coupe shape...........
