Sylvan rigged the L-3 DLZ to go, and, boy, did it! With the 250 hp Evinrude G2 for power, it leaped from a standing start to 30 mph in just 6 seconds. Top speed was nearly 45 mph at just under 6,000 rpm. It delivers an old-school feel, with that good throaty two-stroke growl. Sound levels, however, didn’t get elevated until after about 4,000 rpm; at most economical cruise speed (21 mph, 3,500 rpm, 3.2 mpg) we recorded just 72 decibels—quiet enough for conversation.
