I have never owned a automatic vehicle and driven most of my career through Philadelphia traffic which can be a lot at times. Ford Escort - Rx8 - Mazdaspeed3/Mx5 Miata
With the ease of modern transmissions, it’s fine.  

Lots of performance motors, but let’s be honest here. The most legendary engine of all time is probably the Toyota 5S-FE. The boring little ~130HP 2.2L 4-Cylinder fitted to tens of millions of Toyota Camrys.

The Ford Taurus SHO Yamaha V6

BMW’s straight six engines. But the best is surely the S54b32. It was a 3.2 liter straight six that produced 333hp. That’s more than 100 hp/L. Found in the E46 M3, as well as the later year Z3 and Z4 M Roadsters and M Coupes.

Mazda 13B

Hands down, the Taurus SHO V6.... For an engine designed in the mid ‘80s it combined great power, good sound (when the secondary runners open) and a beautiful design... Way ahead of its time, and a shame it was put in a crappy Taurus body. I miss mine.

Buick 3800 V6. The unmistakable sound of GM for most of my growing up years. Also, how can we not love an engine that made the GNX? That turbo’d 3.8 is a legend.

The list of remarkable engines <8 cylinders is long, but there is no doubt the 2JZ is near the top of that list.

Honda’s B16B, B18C, F20C, K20A

Perfect family car? Maybe if you only have one kid.

Take the train to Central Park station, call the Double Tree north or the Renaissance and request a shuttle. There is a Budget next to the Renaissance and an Enterprise in the Double Tree, both should be completely dead and have much better rates.

Silk City used to be our spot for late night burgers after happy hour. 

Can anyone tell me what those crazy rotors are? They are not circular. I have never seen them until this moment, they are crazy. Drilled, Slotted and now we have notched?  Look at minute 1:55.  

Don’t forget Los Angeles has Little Bangladesh, next to Koreatown, with 5 new Bengali restaurants opened within the last 2 years.

I don't have a quote from the operating handbook, but after V1, the procedure is to continue take off and climb at V2+5.
