That's supposedly what Mr Moller is trying to do.

I can't commit to either 100%. It's like having a manual transmission vs automatic. 90% of the time I prefer that auto but every so often I'd REALLY LOVE to have a stick.

I drive a manual, could never go back to an auto. Also hate front wheel drive cars.

So I went out with the same girl again tonight.

But more importantly, I got the engine mounts in my RX-8 replaced (the old ones were cracked), and changed the transmission/differential gear oil over to Royal Purple synthetic. People say RP is the only oil that actually frees up horsepower. I don't have any measure of that, but it's sure is freakish how easily the car rolls along now when I push the clutch in. It actually feels like it's sliding on ice. Also shifts easier.

Tomorrow I'm going to spend hours detailing the thing. I've got the complete Zaino car care system lined up. I used to use Zymol on my RX-7s, figure I'll try something different this time.

If you're not shifting, you're not driving.

Front wheel drive works great. Just watch what the Civic Si's do to the BMW in road racing competition. Acura RSX's used to dominate when in production.

I have a RWD 2000 S-2000 with the F20c 9000 rpm 240 HP 4 cylinder and it's a hoot. FWD, RWD, both can be made to perform beautifully.

I don't know what to say about her. She's pretty much the opposite of who I'd normally even consider dating, though she is really nice. I don't think I really feel anything for her, and am pretty sure if I started to spend real time with her, I'd end up really annoyed by her.
