For any that were at the Indy track day this year, Can a 1.6 get around the entire track without needing 5th gear with that 7200RPM redline? 

You shift into 5th on the front straight but not for long, I did not need to shift into 5th on the back straight, or need to but it was close, I started short shifting on the back to see what was faster.

 

I have some video i may post up a link.

 

There should be a little for everyone at Indy, draft, and tight corners in the infield. No second gear corners thank god.

Yes indeed, the race season is over and argue season is in full force.

 

Cost controlled?

 

From the same guy bitching about SM costs :)

 

You have been watching too much of these debates.. You flip flop more than our two canidates :)

Your point 1, please see tail end of this page for cost control http://gotransam.com...m101/?cid=59344

 

Your point 2, you'd be hard pressed to find a cost bitch from me other than a comment or two about, the 99 suspension wouldn't do much for the NA 1.6 shortfall.

 

Your point 3, I turned to that blond hair :arguing: fest the other evening for 30 seconds, went surfing and watched Big Bang Theory, much nicer blond. Never in my life time has a Presidential election been this shallow. 

 

Please carry on. :bigsquaregrin:
