Clear winter day...
 

..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... ;)

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

power is nothing unless you can put it to the ground :wink:

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 ;)

yep...im nowhere near that power level but i doubt i'll ever go back to FWD unless its a 200$ winter beater

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 ;)

haha! So are your tires down to cords yet? :wink:

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...

bah move to canada 25C is our summer :P

sorry but i still would rather be able to grip and rip then spin with talk. even if i am slower. I would rather have fun driving then scare myself

Sure you would.

no way d00de, back home it was 25C

Here its fucking 30+

That humidity makes it feel like 35


Toronto/Montreal Summers suck balls.

i was joking. hence > :P <
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 :wink:

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

Re: Clear winter day...
 

We must have different weather up here cos Ive not had that problem :wink: :oops: :lol:

Re: Clear winter day...
 

Well - you sure the weather is the problem? ;) :P hehe

BTW - 22C today and no problems... hehe

I suppose one must consider the matter of an extra bank of cylinders :wink: :lol:
