Dan asked me to test drive the car and so I obliged. He wanted me to push
it, so I did. My first thought upon flooring the pedal was “my ’65 is
faster than this.” I should note that the ’65 is an S but it is still a 1500
and was built with flat-top pistons rather than the original dome-top
pistons. Also, Dan carries probably about 200 lbs. worth of tools more in the
trunk than I carry so maybe that has something to do with it. :-)
Sean, Did Dan's car seem to accelerate better "off line" than your Square,
or was it more of a dog? Just asking, as I've had 2 Notchbacks here, and 1
had carbs while the other had FI. The FI car seemed to have better low end
grunt, but after both were rolling, you couldn't tell the difference. Both
had good power too.
I'm wondering if Dan's distributor has moved a little (retarded), and that
might be causing what you were feeling.
