However, I have say when that Vanos did it's thing it felt like you made the jump to hyperspace… in 90s terms anyway.
Steering wheel was the size of a maritime vessel and the rack was so slow in modern terms but with reasonable steering feel. I also remember it feeling like a heavy car in the day which it was.
It was a pretty decent drive overall. An old car now but it would probably be lots of fun just for the retro experience.
