I'm at 7000 rpm on 5th gear and the speedo is offscale. Speed keeps climbing in the chase. Having proven my point, I peel off and slow down. Don't want a ticket or even worse. Never again on an open, public road.
Nothing beats a well built hybrid.
Reliability has not been sacrificed in the search for power. The car drives like a dream on the street. All I can say is that I need more practice getting everything right. Not that I can get as good as Michael Schumacher or even Piero Liatti, but every bit helps. I'm one with my car.
