Not at all, it pulls a lot better than the last engine especially from 3.5k (spooky it follows a very similar torque / power curve) all the way to the limiter and is very progressive power wise. Print out is one thing on the road it drives really well.
Yes and then Fred and Yozza owned it but only the shell is the same everything has been changed....Gearbox / engine / suspension and brakes are all different now..
It does go well...:cool:
