150HP with Blitz?

I'll jump into this one also! I've raced several different FWD cars over the years, with a variety of HP numbers, none any less fun to drive than the other. My first was a 56HP Civic 1200, the second a 76HP Honda 1.5 CRX, third was a 90HP Nissan Pulsar, and lastly my 135HP Toyota Celica GTS. All four of these cars put a smile on your face, that couldn't be knocked off with a shovel, but only one was really fast. The Celica was speed limited from the factory, at a top speed of 125MPH max, it was truly the fastest. But that said, it was not the most fun car of the four on track, the Pulsar was like driving a go-cart and made up for it's low HP in great handling and braking.

I guess what I'm getting at is HP numbers are great, but only if the car is also set up properly to handle it. A better handling, better braking car can put more smiles on your face, than any straight line numbers ever will!

I totally agree...

I live in a canyon and ride a supermoto...



It's not a fast bike... but I learned that a slow bike can take a curve just as fast as a fast bike can. It's all about handling.
