To me the SR-71 is a neat concept vehicle. But at the same time it is a
gaudy sort of beast that goes beyond the bounds of practicality and good
taste (whatever that is). I'd definitely go for the drivetrain with the
stroked out 360 and the 6-speed and 4 wheel disc upgrade and a nice set of
chunky antisway bars. but you can have the ultraexotic suspension and the
godawful bodywork. It's hideous in my opinion. It looks like someone
couldn't make up their mind whether or not they wanted a truck or an
exoticar. It's painfully stuck somewhere between both worlds.
