Well, I did actually drive a TC once. It was 12-13 years old at the
time, I only beat it out by 6-7 or so myself. The thing was great fun
to drive, and by then the perfomance was so low that you could
actually drive it full out on the highway without getting a ticket.
(75hp, 4.50x19 tires, and buckboard suspension: info to those who are
not old farts)
But, those were cars you drove, not aimed.
When you moved the steering wheel, you were hooked directly to the road,
and you knew it! Same with every other function. Direct hookup. Exciting
driving!
You didn't need speed to get a sensation of driving.
Did you ever read the book "Press On, Regardless?"
My copy is so tattered from re-reading, it's falling apart!
But, if you can find a copy, and you like those old cars, it's an
absolute blast to read.
Small book, probably 4.5 X 6" and only 1/2" thick or so, but plenty of
fun reading.

No, I _wish_ I had that for a memory!
Best I can do is working on early TD's and being around TC's.
Still... fun stuff.
