I have a Gen 2 Type 65, which I just got on the road. The car is a lot of fun but it's pretty obnoxious and clunky to drive in some respects, especially in traffic and urban areas:

The exhaust - what little there is - seems pointed at your ears and earplugs are necessary if you value your hearing.
I added a fair amount of soundproofing (Eastwood's self-adhesive product) but apparently not enough, and I should have done the inside of the transmission tunnel, and under the trunk floor. I don't think you could overdo it in terms of soundproofing efforts if you want to drive any real distances. The vibrations of the aluminum panels with no soundproofing gets old. There's a little vibration from the seat being solidly mounted to the floor and roll cage, especially with a lumpy idle in a 302 Windsor. You don't forget that it's first and foremost a race car, and one based on +50-year-old technology.
With the shoulder harnesses tight, turning your upper body to look back and out the hatch glass to see is impossible.
The fuel pump in the tank is loud, and so is the coil or something else in the ignition system, the end result of which is it sounds like two tiny turbine engines front and back, in addition to the exhaust.
I have really stiff suspension (750lb springs up front, 450lb in the back) and 19" wheels. It turns like a cat on carpet but you do feel every bump!
On my car the early-style IRS is solidly bolted to the frame and the seat may as well be solidly bolted to the differential because you hear and feel about everything it does.

Overall it is a massive amount of fun and it'll give you a grin from ear to ear, but many aspects of the machine - or at least mine - are obnoxious. I suppose I could compare it to the sport bikes I have long ridden, but honestly the best comparison is the Enstrom 280C I fly: loud, very sensitive controls, you smell the fuel and exhaust, you feel the machine as much as you see what it's doing, it commands your full attention and will kill you if you aren't giving it that attention, but still more fun than anyone should be allowed to have. You'll love it.
