    well that was just going in a straight line...

    again, the real purpose of the setup is for cornering

    why does the S2000 have a 9k redline?

    because at 5252 rpm is when the crossover point for hp matters more than torque

    also the 4AGE has TVIS which is equivalent to VTAK POWA

    Gotcha. Just trying to see what the hype is about with high rev'ing motors.

    I highly doubt it takes Pre-K skills. I don't knock drifting, but if you've never launched a 400+ RWD car on slicks down the track....then you don't really know.

    I'm not knockin on drag racing either, but then again I've also never launched a 400+ rwhp car

    but one can say the same if you've never slid a 160 rwhp car that weighs ~1800 lbs.
