“It idles like a drum kit and pulls like a freight train — the side pipes are pure 1965.”
“Steering is heavy at walking pace and perfect at speed. The rebuilt brakes pull dead straight.”
“No overheating in traffic, oil pressure steady, no smoke on start.”
“Turn-in is instant, the rear-steer makes it feel smaller than it is. In Comfort it’s genuinely civil on the 101.”
“Gearbox is crisp, no slip on launch. Brakes bite hard from cold and stay quiet.”
“Loud in Sport+, but no rattles, no warning lights, alignment dead straight.”
