You should have heard it on decel with the original cam sprockets. Sounded like a drive-by shooting. ---

> “This is one of those cars that gets a bad rep,” said Joe, “I don’t think that reputation is deserved though. A lot of guys take them out, flog them before they get fully warmed up, don’t rev match when they downshift and they generally beat on them. It’s a hand-built car, after all, I mean back in 1995 they only built 46 of them. TThese things need a little more TLC than your average sports car, but they are damn good cars” I think that just about sums it up. I love my car but I’ve spent countless dollars and hours fixing the things the PO never cared about. Still got a long way to go, but I don’t think I’ll ever sell this thing. The article is a great read. I know we keep saying this, but we really need to get together for a ride soon. I’m putting the supercharger on the week of the 21st. ---

I’m not sure who this article is really about. The Joe I know professionally is referred to as the devil. The things he has to do for money are pretty terrible. 😃 Congrats on the write up. You deserve a free detail as you have a white car now right? Red cars are the worst. ---

Joe has always been one of the good guys and respectful people on here since he joined. Cool to read a bit about the history of him and his cars. I’m sure it reminds a lot of us about our journeys with our cars and what they’ve meant to us. :tup: ---

This is one of my favorite cars. Not because I like the Esprit but because I appreciate Joe’s passion and devotion to it, which started a long time before he even bought the car. :tup: to a good guy and one of the most loved cars you’ll ever read about. ---
