Honda's squeezing 150HP/liter out of that thing @ 23.2 PSI? That's nifty.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Yep! Thank God for the 5year 60k mile warranty on engine and drive train! Didn't flog it today for obvious reasons, but drove the kid's CTR and it is "snappy" without torque steer. Note it weighs about the same as the C4S but has more torque so it could be a fun car.

Pretty sure they are OEM, but I will check to see if they need modified. If they do I know a guy...

Set the record at the "Ring" for a front wheel drive stock street car. So I'm pretty sure it is more capable than I am of driving it.

I love the color combo. But, why does it have a 3rd nipple?

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
It's some Japanese engineer's design to give you a sporty exhaust sound w/o setting up a drone at hiway speeds. Something to do with the way it is attached that exhaust only flows through exhaust three at lower exhaust speeds and bypasses it at higher flow. Either that or the engineer just thought it look cool and controversial.FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 1:31 pm I love the color combo. But, why does it have a 3rd nipple?

So it's like PSE, but without a thousand dollars worth of needless complexity?

Eggzackery! German engineering vs Japanese engineering. With only one choice do you need a mechanic with a PhD in Quantum Physics to repair.
Having said that the Racer Boys are all whiny that the car is not loud enough. Guess they can add the farting can of their choice, I'll pass.

Point of order, Mr. Chairperson: that's "fart can."
