: Coupe GT

[rob hod]

    Oh yeah, I think the big question is how have these cars been
maintained. A neglected Urq is going to be disappointing to drive. A good
one will impress. I know that the standard CGT isn't stunning above 4k so I
don't tend to use it much and enjoy the feeling of good progress being made
in spite of 'short shifting' it.  I also know that if you've got the power
there its tempting to use it , Put me in a turbo and i'm sure i'd  find it
hard to avoid the temptation to drive in the way that has me muttering
'****head' when I see others driving the same way. Maybe oneday I'll splash
on a Urq for the hell of it and be anti-socail once in a while! Or get a
20Vt and have the best of both worlds.

    Have to say I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your efi project coming
together and there's a part of me that really fancies the idea of a 4k turbo
beater.  Who says you can't live vicariously!

not that bad, the Urq is worse, but the MC/MB engined cars are not bad at
all, about 3kRPM.
