I would absolutely disagree with the characterization that the S65 is “ barely capable of much under 4500 RPM”. The S65 has an incredibly flat torque curve. It makes ~290 lb ft of torque (at the flywheel) from 3,000 RPM all the way up to 7,000 RPM, at which point it begins to fall of a bit (but not precipitous). You…
420 is perfect. It’s just enough to stir the pot. Plenty to turn you tires into a puff a smoke and to land you in the weeds. Enough to get you real messed up, but you would stillbe able to put your foot down without bonging into a wall. If you show up at cars and coffee with 420, you might be the envy of the joint.…

Hey don’t tell anyone but sometimes I record basketball games without the express written consent of the National Basketball Association.
Taller headlights, round ones like they used to have. Have the LED running strips hidden behind smoked glass between the two round headlights on each side so during the daytime it looks like the 1980s design language, and at night it looks super futuristic with a single bar across either side of the car. Secondly,…
