Exactly what Dick said. What a feeling - I dont know which is more awesome; the dizzying acceleration or the howling roar through the pipes as speed builds. I have not done any real accurate timed runs yet but I have run it up over 120mph with ease and no sign of any bad manners. I have learned to press the gas pedal conservatively when pulling out to pass a line of slower cars as the tires will break loose in third gear without too much provocation. One thing I found a bit startling at first is that on passing acceleration the engine pulls strongly right away (no stumble or hesitation) but then there is a sudden really powerful kick as (I assume) the secondaries open. It feels much like turbo boost coming on and is like nothing I have ever experienced in any other naturally aspirated car. The handling and composure at speed far exceeded my expectations after all the talk about scary short-wheelbase characteristics and after owning a couple of fast vettes I am very impressed. Sorry for rambling.... I guess what I wanted to say is that a strong stroker in a Unique is a great combination.
