Thanks. That falls right in line with my senses and memory. So, I spent a few seconds in 5th, a few longer than I thought was necessary. I'm gonna call it 130 and nothing more. 165 is a long way more, probably 30 more seconds by my guess under the ideal conditions I mentioned above. And more than a 220 HP fat Carrera pig can do.
Funny, I didn't have any weird sensations that would make me think I
had to have a bunch of areo stuff. I mean my car presently doesn't even have a chin spoiler. You mean these cars will do a buck and a half in a straight line naked?
