I am about 3k miles into my new generation Beck speedster and I absolutely love everything about it. I haven't done much more than test drive older generation replicas, but I can say that the handling is drastically improved in my car. The steering is very direct and there is very little bump steer. I previously owned a 1960 MG MGA and the difference in the 2 cars is night and day. The power, braking, handling and comfort are closer to a modern car than to one from the 60's. If you are ever in the Dallas area, feel free to drop by for a test drive.
