Agreed that a ‘90s mustang might of made 215 hp wheras today it’s up at 475 hp? I would enjoy an analysis to determine how much of that is due to higher compression vs direct injection vs more valves and better breathing.

I think your missing a point. Though a more thermally efficient motor makes more power than the same displacement less efficient motor, it doesn’t mean that it will make the same power that the engine that manufacturer might provide if MPG standards were not in place. Hybrids are not cheap, turbos are not cheap,…

I’ll let myself out now....

I wasn’t going to mention this until you indicated comparable times including Steve Millen clocked at a 1:54 in a 996 Porsche. If that was a legit Porsche ‘996 time, it must have been during a snowstorm....

If Harley is going to make an electric bike, make it with a monster open wound air cooled motor with copper windings that barely fits between your legs.

Yep, that’s cool. My natural next car is a Type R. But I increasingly find the idea of keeping my Si for winter and getting used vette as a summer car instead. The new vettes are pretty impressive performance for the money.

Rather than get into a debate on which owners are the ones that have disfunction, I believe the reason that the base Vette is a better car for the same money is it’s a LeMans winning sports car with substantially more racing performance than the 4C.

I know a G80 owner friend who bought it in medium market Wisconsin because it is a luxury car that can be serviced here . Once the pare down is done, I think the only options will be 140 miles + away which is a pain for warranty and recalls.

Crack price when you can buy a new Vette for $2k more

PS - The way I found about these knives is listening several years ago to America’s Test Kitchen. Chris Kimball put them as one of the 4 knives he would recommend for any cook. That’s good enough for me.

The knives are really something. I gave several to my cousin and her foodie father in law was really impressed with how great they feel. My only comment is I would also ge thet 6 inch serrated knife as I find it just so handy and effective.

That may well be true that it is not a problem. But if it is a problem, it will be a mess. Time will tell.

Good question and you would think there wouldn’t be fog. But...... If the cockpit is warmer, any vapor will condense on a colder surface which the windshield would be so who knows.

I suspect this is a lot more difficult than first appears. One issue is rain and the challenge of keeping it clean and not fogging. Also some kind of tear off system will be needed.

One trick is trying to see if there are any tighter turns in the cable that you can relax, and or loosening the connection into the back of the spedo. Also you might try lubricating the cable if it is accessible. That did the trick for my 70's Alfa.

Exists but very unlikely though, Much more likely an accord.

The reason I like the S2000 is the the absence of a mid door crease and pronounced rocker crease. Also I think the mirror may be on the fender rather than extension of the door frame.

S2000? Soft or hard top
