Bob,
The sizaire was remarkably smooth at speed as it had essentially 3 huge flywheels. The crank was just two flywheels with a big end joining them. The IFS was very good, the car tracked beautifully (no wandering) and it ironed out the bumps. I drove this car from Perth to Sydney (4000 kms) and from Adelaide to Darwin (about the same) long straight road was what it was best at.
The one you have in NZ is a rocket ship but it is highly modified mine was not that fast.
I made two videos of the insides of the gearbox and driving with the camera under the car showing how the tailshaft moves during gear changing, it was a very interesting car but very challenging to drive with that transmission.
