Spot on Hz. The fastest car I've ever driven (ironically an MX-5 but one with 400bhp+) was fun in the "holy shit I'm going to die" sense, whereas lower power cars are fun in a more childish mischief sense.

Well you can make any stat look good or bad based on the spin you put on it.

So I can confirm that when I put the vernier across the vent, I can get a measurement that is 86mm :D pic to cum when I think of it.

Good investigative work... maybe keep a set of verniers in the car at all times for future investigations... :)

I've seen an 86 today up close at the westfield's - it was on display - I sat in, walked around had a few good looks at it.
I quite like it, I gotta say. I'll probably have to drive it see what it's really like, it maybe a replacement for my aging 380...:)

Oh, and I haven't driven a manual here at all. That's the only thing I've driven at home for 10 years, but the stick is on the wrong side now...:)
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?

So, not to be outdone us Taswegians are a competitive bunch...

Well if you don't mind paying the fuel bills, the CX-9 is a lovely car. And you got in before Mazda uglified it with the CX-5's front end.

Any more details to what else did they have to do with the setup? other then the Safety features eg roll cage etc.
