Most cars are along the lines of 15% for manuals and 20% for automatics, if 23% is true for bmw's and their trannys. they are kinda ineffecient if you ask me

485 is nuts. How does it handle the twisties or track Numark? Any car can go fast in a straight line, not much fun in doing it IMHO.

When you have that much power, you tend to try not to go too fast on twisties unless you are at the track. At least I dont too much. It deffinately hugs the road pretty damn well. When it was all stock it was about even between my car and numarks parents 2001ish 330 on a twistie road. I had core showing from my tires at the time, but thats about the best benchmark I can think of.

..i could have taken the turns faster...but didnt have enough power.


Ill take 20mph at 60 with that thing now. No squeal either.


Needless to say..our cars can go faster in the twisties then they should.
