Jay,
I agree with you about the engine. Some cars I've driven it's the feel of
the car sticking to the road. Others it's the luxury....don't hear any
engine sound and like riding on a sofa. Others it's the feel of the
technology. The Tiger definitely doesn't have the road hugging, the luxury or
the
technology. It's the engine.
I get the same feeling of being pulled by the engine. I always felt that
I should feel like the rear wheels pushing, but it never feels that way.
When my car gets above 3,500 rpm's it has always felt to me like I'm being
pulled by a big train. Maybe it's all those horses in the 302 stroker.
