I am also quite biased twoards "three pedal" cars, but I figure when you're north of 300hp, even an automatic can be fun.

I have lots of fun with the '73 Formula I used to own;
It was a factory 350/350 car, but the numbers engine was worn out when I got it, so I ended up putting in a lightly breathed on 400 with 1969 #62 heads;
the 2.73:1 gears made it at times a bit sluggish, but I had tons of fun with that car.
