One of the wildest drives I ever did was a 1962 E-type Jaguar factory racer on period correct bias plys in the rain... scarier than a modern F3 car..Always thought it would be fun to go on a gun run with one of these-
Also to think someone was like "yeah some gatling guns are cool, but what about something bigger in this plane?"
"Ok, how about some 40mm cannons?"
"Awesome, add those too."
"...wait, too? Not instead of?"
"Yeah. And can we get anything bigger?"
"What, you want to put a ****ing artillery piece in here or something?"
"Exactly! Put a 105 in the tail!"
I can't imagine being in there while it's flying and firing. Just walking through a parked one was enough of a trip.
I also can't fathom what it would be like road racing a C2 back in the day. Big block on those tiny bias ply tires.
