I went and test drove a deuce today. A M35a2 cont. engine, the body is ready to fall off the frame(rust) , the brakes took 4 good pumps to slow it down from 25 mph on a dirt road (was scared to go any faster with no brakes). To say the least this vehicle seemed worn out, and ready to collapse. I did get a basic "feel" of what it is like to drive one ( interesting shift pattern).My questions... Does a bobbed deuce accelerate,stop, turn any different than a stock one? I really had this built up in my mind as the ultimate vehicle, even though the one I saw, I believe was a very poor example of the race. I don't expect a new truck feel, but would like basic competency. I would love to drive someones bobber, before I write this off. Or at least get the general opinions of the people who have driven both. Thanks.
