Certainly, but within reasonable limits. I would have ordered the 3 litre Roadster if it had still been available.
For the road I think I would risk getting into trouble with my, let us say, enthusiastic driving style in a Mustang engined Roadster. On the track is a different thing; more run off area, one way traffic, excellent road surface ect. and one would be prepared to drive much harder than one should on the public road.
Actually Peter, it is a very drivable car, it will cruise at low revs in 5th or 6th gear within legal speed limits. What's nice is it has 911 performance, so if you want to loose a dawdler you can easily and very quickly. The assisted electric power steering is very good at speeds and I believe I can feel it in action at up to about 35-40mp, control and feedback is still very positive though. The gearbox is lovely, changing being smooth and positive, sorry chaps but much nicer than the 3l 5 speed roadster boxes. Mine has 15" wires with 65 profile tyres, so these give a comfortable and forgiving ride. If you wanted a more sporting feel the 16" with lower profile would be the way to go. On the track I am sure it will come into its own, but it is not excessive, I love it so much that I've done 1k miles in 6 weeks of ownership. I would not hesitate to go on long journeys in it. In fact I'm hoping Sue and I will tour Northern Spain next year on holiday in the roadster, and I hope to come down your way the next year. In the wet it is drivable, the power is controllable, and it is stable in the wet when driven sensibly. In my opinion it will eventually go down as one of the great Morgan models, similar to a Plus 8, not that they are not all lovely. When I next see you, you can have a drive and see what you think.
