It occurs to me how much different my experience is than what the Hahn guys are reporting. I think that we have the good fortune of now being able to choose between what will prove to be two very different experiences. I'm not thinking better or worse here, but I'm guessing (haven't driven a Hahn car) they are far from similar. What Tweety and others report is not what I am finding. This car does not feel like driving it is a new experience in terms of loosing the boost and getting to understand what to do. It is very intuitive. It doesn't "come on" in a big way I think because it's there as early as 2500 rpm. So you get into it and stay there for a long powerband, pulling to what? 5300 or so. It's less of an event I think because it comes on when your speed is low and stays, but I'm not saying it isn't noticible, don't worry it goes like a bat. Note: Please don't get the impression that I'm complaining or am dissappointed in any way I am not, I love what's happening, and you won't be dissappointed, I'm simply reporting what I'm finding. As my signature says, This is not a rough brute-like thing, it"s an amazingly refined thoroughbred. That is the overriding impression one gets coming from the N/A Solstice, smooth and refined beyond belief. This is a remarkable achievement, watch as others report and if I'm wrong, I'll give you your money back More soon! -bird....Wanta race? Hahn guys need not reply!
