GREAT cars....

Honest opinion...

Except for one thing... major IMHO if you like 'driving' properly hard to use the Roadster as a 'drivers car'...

The 'Rev Hang' is horrendous!... so, accelerate WOT in any gear up to the red line, drop the clutch to change gear... and the RPM's 'hang' really high. So when you let the clutch out in the new gear, the revs are way too high to match the new 'gear ratio'... so there is a huge 'lurch'... not good for any element of the drivetrain, clutch, UJ's, passengers! It put me off ever buying a 3.7L Roadster. The 'previous' Ford motor did not have these issues, which I believe are simply related to transplanting the current Ford 'Mustang' AUTOMATIC motor/ECU combination into the manual transmission Morgan.

However... if you just want to 'cruise'... then you can wait a few seconds for the 'hang' to go away and gear changes are sweet.
