Hey Bob, do you know what the problem with numbers from the skid pan is?


There's no problem so long as they are consistently high in all tests
at all times.

As I thought, you don't know.



Do you know why comparing drag coefficients is often foolish?


It's hardly foolish. Slippery cars usually are more quiet on the road
and due to less wind noise. Compromises between good drag numbers and
downforce are a staple of modern auto design.

Once again, you don't know.


Now here's a question that should connect the first two; do you know
what the drag coefficient is for an F1 car in Monaco configuration?

That's not really applicable to the discussion and I think you know
why.

Of course it is, you just can't grasp it.

Do you think that you could drive your EVO and beat Shu in a Renault 5
at Monaco?


I'm not likely to do well against a professional driver. There's a
huge difference between learning a local circuit and doing well and a
person who drives at the limits week after week.

Ah, you think practice does it?

You remain a poseur.

Oh well yet another subject to add to the long list of those of which
you are willing to pontificate about without a modicum of understanding.

Whatever the source, you don't seem to be paying any attention to
Donal's requirements in a car....it's class and ability to be chosen
over others for prime parking spots in casinos. You may ignore his
needs and the mentality behind them, but this is not something that
interests me in a car.

Speak for yourself, I have no soul, at least not in the biblical sense.

Yeah, but I was probably drunk so it doesn't count... ;-)

So...I guess it's safe to assume that Ozzy and I have the best
handling sports cars on ASA. Are there better cars in the free world?
Perhaps, but our Evo X's are now listed among the very best machines
irrespective of price. Of course nobody really minds if Ozzy enjoys
such a car, but the usual jealous and frustrated suspects have slimed
out of their cuddy cabins to cry and moan over MY new car. Poor Donal
doesn't own a better handling car, so he found one at 5 times the
price...and it STILL doesn't out-handle the Evo X!!! And even more
depressing, he clearly has no sports car of his own at all. But he
does take driving lessons.
Oh, the humanity!
So failing to win a single point the discussion dribbled into
absurdity and cars of "class" that get preferred parking. And when
that didn't work it just got sad for all of you.
I must say I'll enjoy driving my tuned Evo X one or two days a week.
And after this thread I may enjoy just a tiny bit more!

So thanks!

Good Lord!
I knew that the Evo was cheap, but I didn't realise that
it was that cheap.

Is it true that the top speed is only 165 mph? If so, why do
you think that it could compete, in terms of speed, with a DB9?

We all know that it cannot compete in style, looks, fit or finish,
but you were claiming that the Evo could outperform the AM.
If its top speed is so low, then it couldn't possibly beat the DB.

We all have our dreams. Why are your's so unambitious?
