@jimmyfarley5581 Жыл бұрын

@@_retrophile_7473 I totally agree with you. Bigger engine doesn't necessarily mean more power and more performance. People think a (500bhp) 6 litre V8 will be faster than a (500bhp) 2 litre 4 cylinder. Why? There's lots of factors involved. Capacity is not indicative of power output. A smaller engine can make just as much power as a larger engine. Why Tiff launched without revs is beyond me. Perhaps he was told to go easy on the very expensive transmission.

The 722s chassis and suspension is a huge advance on the standard. When I launch it I plant to spin the compressor then ease off, then plant it again and it hooks up perfectly.
