Reply to "Longchamp, now w/o rust"

Just as a followup, yesterday was about looks, today was about performance, took a spirited drive. It drives fantastically.

-Acceleration, while not 600HP Pantera quick, it leaves everything on Danish roads in the dust with the McLain/Jones stroker torque monster

-Handling, found a roundabout, took a few rounds faster and faster, g-forces quite impressive, and when the speed finally did overcome the new tires, it skidded slowly on all four wheels. A perfectly balanced chassis. Thank you DeTomaso engineers

-Braking. Excellent. Pedal hard, and a full emergency braking stop is steady, no drama. Only one thing. This winter I in my ignorance rewired the brake cylinder warning light, it was wired so both chambers had to be low, I rewired so just having one chamber low would trigger warning light. Seemed like the best thing. Well it brakes so hard it now triggers the light in the master cylinder's rear sensor, even at fluid level at Max, so have to redo the wiring Razzer

Beauty AND Beast!
