Know what you mean. My other car is a Lotus 7 replica: No power steering, no power brakes, coil-over suspension F&R, no VDC, no radio. Of course it corners perfectly flat (the geometric roll centers are below the center of gravity of the chassis) and the handling is almost perfectly intuitive. A quarter turn of the steering wheel is all you need for most sharp corners. Of course, if you ride over anything thicker than a small coin, you feel it through the suspension.
