I wasn't trying to persuade anyone with my cynicsm
just passing on my experience.
The reason Ash's car 'feels' quick despite modest HP is Torque. The Pinto was intended to lug the 1200kg Sierra around. Putting that engine in a car weighing half that will always make it quick upto about 70mph plus the roadster is low to the ground and wind in your hair which affects your sense of perception.
Travelling to stoneleigh in a mates kit car it felt quick even though it wasn't going any faster than I would have gone in my normal road car.....
