Wow. She runs really, really well. So good in fact that I’m debating if I need the new engine. I put 60km on her today, I have no idea how many miles that is but she pulls a lot better than I thought. I smoked 2 minivans and was neck and neck with a Lexus RX330.
My question now is this. Is it more fun to drive a slow car fast or a fast car slow…. Hammering full throttle to the floor and squealing around the turns on these skinny tires is a blast. I think she may have more than a 1600 under there. It looks like there were a lot of 1915’s put into the Vintage Speedsters. I wonder….. do I need 180hp? I’ve got a huge grin with what I have…. Is more better….?
What I know for sure is that this car is super fun. Exactly what I need in life right now.
I’ve got a few loose ends to wrap up. Tach, temp gauge, turn signals and front running lights. I need to start researching suspension and a steering box as well. She has a bit of play in the wheel. It’s fine at 45 but at 60 I’d love it to be a little more responsive.
