I think the red Porsche is the image widebody911 (Thom?) was trying to post. It is a red postage stamp on my screen - just trying to help.

What you can do with 10 HP

The car proved to pull the steepest hill they could find at more than 15 miles an hour with this hefty load! Flat ground produced nearly 50 miles per hour. Later, the car was driven with driver only, and Joel found the top speed to be no more than 50 on the flat, and he did see speeds nearing 60MPH when going down hills, this suggests that the drive system is pretty well optimized as per the ratios, but we feel a spring adjustment in the C.V.T. could be made to get the engine to rev another 500 or 600 RPM (if) maximum power were required. This engine makes continuous power at 3000, and max at 3600 RPMs, Joel is guessing that 3000 may be all she's able to give in top gear level ground, this could be because the engine is new, it may be because the throttle linkage needs adjustment, but I think the CVT needs to be optimized if the last bit of power is to be found.
