...almost felt like a sports car.

(Please note I did say almost!)

How different it would feel on old components I don't know. But I'd guess it would be sharper and more decisive - a bit better than the "point and hope" low mileage one owner always garaged W123s I tried before I bought my bag of nails!

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!
