What is a Roadster? • Two seats • Minimal body - No roll-up windows Stutz Bearcat 1914
Approximate Performance Light Weight of around 1300 lbs. and injected engine circa 200 HP for zero to 60 in about 4 seconds Lots of rubber on the road: 14 to 16 psi inflates the tires fully
Drawbacks • No doors – only side-curtains • Top takes 5-10 minutes to put up • Heater, but no Air Conditioner • No radio – but plenty of noise • No cup-holders or cigarette lighter • Limited luggage space • Requires agility and narrow shoes!
