Re: Why aren't Yenko Stingers More Popular?
Yes, but is that sex appeal really worth the extra $100K-250K???
I find both straightline performance, and handling, to be extremely gratifying. However, given the choice, I will take the well handling car over the faster car, every time.
I realize that is just my opinion.
The Stinger will have its day. It is the last "affordable" Yenko. With the hero worship bestowed (not saying it isn't deserved) on the Yenko's, it is only a matter of time before people "discover" the Stinger.
As you can see, we have both the Stinger, and a '68 Camaro (Rick had a '68 Z28 that he totalled when he was 20 years old). The Stinger, however, holds the warmest place in our hearts (its helps that we are the third owner, that it is all original short of paint, and has a fully documented race history).
BTW, this is Ricks wife Gloria posting this. Me and Rick share the same passion for vehicles.
