Clear winter day...

[RC45]

..cold air, cold tyres, cold road...

Great for making high HP numbers.. (about 545hp at the crank) but not good for actually using them...



I spent so much time short shifting this morning to kill the wheelspin, Honda Civics were actually beating me through traffic...

460 is good enough for doing quick work of shortshifting 600 fwhp civics .. hehe

power is nothing unless you can put it to the ground

I would rather take "slip sliding power" from a lumpy lopey V8 on a 2 degree C morning anytime.. it's still more fun to drive than the FWD

I have rwd thank you but i would rather have a lower hp with traction on any wheel(s). then just massive power.

Sure you would.





Let's have the same conversation next Wednesday when the outside temp is 25C and my 0-60 goes from 6s with wheelspin to 4s

Not yet

On the way home tonight, I came across this other heads/cam/open pipe C5 coupe in our neighbourhood - and we went from stop sign to stop sign for a run - it was hilarious - we were both short shifting and spinning and off-throttle, on throttle just to get going

But it sure did "liven up" the commute for those Camry's and Accords coming home...

i was joking. hence > <
and it isn't often that it is that hot for many day's in a row
and if you think 35C is really really hot, then you don't know hot. go to south, i mean deep south, and then you can complain... or the middle east

and toronto and montreal have very diff. summers, it all has to do with water
