>From all I read the Tiger was a dog when it came to handling. It was great
going straight but when it saw a curve it freaked out. Sounds just like many
early pony cars. There was an article in GRM a few years back about Tigers
that came to the same conclusion.
I'd rather have less power and better handling. If worse comes to worse you
can always install a different 4 with more power.
