I wish more people would take it to the track instead of racing around me and cutting me off a the roads. For about 10,000 you can buy a shifter cart and race against competitors. Maybe rent one. They will give you more G-forces and acceleration than a F-one race car.

Sweet! You report mpg but not speeds? Stock 1.6? What was slower?
