The low boost cars are around 5.5s to 60, which is roughly the same as a Bmw 335i, I had a play with one on a country road and it was very evenly matched when I was low boost,
As for comfort and noise levels etc, I have gone the other way with my car, I have put the quietest exhaust on that I could find -still 2.5 inch but with huge silencers and it is pretty quiet unless gunning it, I have also put a standard clutch on it as did not like the Helix one, engine mount wise I have a standard top mount with welded chocks, a Peugeot sport gearbox mount and a Baker bm bottom mount, I did have a powerlex bottom mount and it was fine (no splits or anything) but did move a bit,
The Baker mount is a bit noisy on tick-over but does seem to be getting quieter as I get a few miles on it but is fine once you are moving and the gear-change is lovely, I may go back to a genuine standard bottom mount turned horizontally to eliminate movement if the Baker mount does my head in,
The suspension is Bilstein B4's up front, genuine pug rears, RichW roller wishbones, Eibach springs with 21mm torsion bars at rear and a 28mm Arb in the beam, all rolling on Team Dynamics 1.2,s wrapped in Michelin Pe2,s
The result is a car that is very comfortable, not too noisy, fast and very nice to drive
