It transformed it into a Hot Rod that was only good for burning rubber in a
straight line, or annoying Big Healey drivers at stop lights. The latter was
kind of fun, but the car was no longer nimble nor well-balanced. It did not
corner well compared to real sports cars, and although admittedly each
corner was a hairy sideways adventure, it was not fast through the turns.
It was also no good at the drags because it made lots of smoke, but never
really hooked up.
