darn! I thought they cleaned up my room after I checked outbreakaway500 wrote:Here is a review I read off of Orbits about the HJ motel in Bowmanville;
"We were totally dissatisfied with our rooms, room service and resturant: we had none . The rooms were dirty and one of ... the "beds" was broken down like the box spring was broken totally on one side, I really wish I would have taken a picture of it ,cigarette burns in bed spread ,holes in the walls,naked pictures of Hillary C. in the bathroom...I cannot elaborate enough to explain how bad it really was. We have stayed in a lot of motels over the past ten years and this was the worst we have ever exprienced , we had been so excited about our trip and had looked forward to a great relaxing time what a let down . I appologize for being so rude but I would sure hope this would not happen to anyone else ."

How's this for hanging fruit?

I think Troys car even makes more than 305tq.
However it's not just the peak numbes that are critical.
Having that torque available from 3-7k rpms is a huge factor in overall performance.
I could just imagine the Miata with the Cobra powerplant...
An FFR Challenge Cobra with a Terminator drivetrain would be interesting...

It's not what you drive, it's how you drive. "Lap times matter"
Not to continually move this thread off topic, but last year I drove Mick's car for the open session at Tremblant. With some time I could have easily matched my lap times in the mustang, and I didn't feel the want for more HP.....though I think I'd really have to grow a set of balls to match my lap times this year with his car.
I suspect an S2000 would be roughly the same in that respect. Assuming I can carry more speed in the turns with the lighter machine, I'm thinking I won't be too disappointed.
btw: The Cobra makes monster torque....about 475 lb/ft of torque at peak, and never under 400 from just under 2k to just under 6k.
In the hands of a better driver, I'm sure the car would be amazing.
....now if I can keep from popping another head gasket.....

Hey,I started the thread;who cares if it goes off topic? Not me.
4cyl cars are a lot of fun. Less can be more;
Momentum becomes your friend.Less wasted energy.
Much less wear and tear on all components....and less components that usually cost....less!
Less fuel needed too.
..and easier to tow.
or push...
As far as better drivers...isn't that what we all aspire to become?
Isn't Micks E30 a 6? Those make a lot more torque than a n/a 4.
However,I still like the big ole honking V-8's
