  1. On the 1500cc obviously but what about the SR3 SL @giorgio67mentionned above? Not a bike engine, lower revs, should be quite cheaper on that dpt. But heavier on an other side...
  2. My post was to be read at a second degree of course. Nothing serious in that. There are very good things with Europe and some counterparts or abuse/arrangements with its laws sometimes. So I perfectly understand that people can get annoyed with it. Plus, the people have spoken and democracy has made its way. That's for me by far, the most important thing to defend in any case. Whatever what side of a border you're on. And of course, seasons greetings to everyone ๐Ÿพ
  3. I might hide for a moment, bullets are coming strong over here. ๐Ÿ˜‰
  4. An Evo 5 or 6. RS if you might. The best 4wd I ever drove. Or too keep it japanese... A NSX?? The real one of course from the 90's
  5. Brie is not cheese. Let's talk about St-Nectaire ๐Ÿ˜œ or Salers. With some St Emilion? OK. I have to admit that a lot of French "cรฉpage" and others have been brought to South America and it does wonder over there ๐Ÿ˜ Never tried an English wine yet. That's definitely a box to check. You already have the best cars and horse breeds. Let us some pride! ๐Ÿ˜„
  6. PSS and PS4S combo is good if you're looking for a more focus car and was the best option at that time in 18/19. Now if PS4 is now available in the right sizes all around and if you're only looking for a good sporty tire on road use, that might be the best path for you to follow. And switch on 19/20 for track days with some serious rubber ๐Ÿ˜œ
  7. Never had the chance to drive one. But I love the way it looks ๐Ÿ˜ and they are quite rare around here.
  8. I mainly got to know the Cortina thanks to Goodwood revival and those intense races where some guys send them down the track like hell. It's actually the first one I see in the flesh in many years.
  9. This figures are combined with the 5mm drop in ride height of a GT410 Sport compared to the standard one. This + the extra ducktail makes sense for an increase in downforce
  10. Just discovered this topic. I'm a real cat lover since I was a kid and can't help remembering all the wonderful felines I had the chance to share my life with. My wife and I are currently sharing our home with 2 of them. Jhara, 1 yo, a Bengal cat : And Mitsu, 14yo. No Brand ๐Ÿ˜‚ Also have 2 horses, but that's an other story.
  11. Only 6' here but feel better since adding the Carbon seats instead of the Sparcos. Sit lower.
  12. @Mysterae for the gold. They talk about it in the Carfection video. Gordon says that during the incoming testing program, if any hot-spots are to be located that can't be fixed with 'more common' materials, then it will be gold as it remains the best heat shield.
  13. Good job trying to get the Mum ๐Ÿ˜
  14. My god! Asshole performance +100000! Internet is full of wonders........
  15. Have to say that I'm always amazed by this. Here in France, at least 95 % (probably more) of such cars are kept in garages. It's really something going along with owning such cars to protect them and keep them away from the bad weather and 'rude' people. It's just totally culturally related I guess because as I see here it's pretty common in the UK to park it on the driveway and it is totally fine. You guys will always blow me away : You made/make the best and most thrilling cars, often with no roof or not very water proof in a country which is not dry as a desert and drive the hell out of it all year long. I Love that!!! Very jealous not being born in a country with such a mindset
  16. @dcmp I'm looking to go the other way around. The Sparco to the CF
  17. @Simon Bateman actually I do know the place ๐Ÿ˜†. Best friend's marriage took place there
  18. @Simon Bateman yes it's where the Michelin headquarter and europeean R&D Center are located Not sure about the castle as, like in the UK, we are lucky enough to have a few around here. The Track is Charade. You're right, it use to held the F1 French GP. It's located in the Volcano area 10km from Clermont-Ferrand and is pretty hilly . We use it also for Tyre testing many times a year. Here are 2 videos where Chris Harrys takes on the BMW M2 competition and the best Macca out there (600 LT) on this roller coaster :
  19. Well, happy to see that our products are ticking all the boxes for most of you. Of course our competitors also do great tyres, often cheaper but lasting performance and wear rate are not always there. And without competition, the technology bounces wouldn't be the same.
  20. If you don't notice a difference in the dry between Cup2 and PS4S even on the road you might as well switch to autonomous cars right away.... OK, I'm teasing you there, but truly the difference is significant. But I agree on cold and wet it's even greater.
  21. @Qykslvr Hi and nice Evora you've got there. The PSS is a very good Tyre on the wet. It doesn't like Tยฐ below 7ยฐC if wet/damp conditions. But above that, it's very safe and performs great, even greater than competitors in this segment. The PS4S which is the 'new' PSS keeps excellent wet performance and beats PSS by a little marge on this item.
  22. @Bibs if rolling resistance, Tyre weight for given load/speed, Tyre dimensions and sidewall profiles for aerodynamic issues and of course tyre/vehicle interaction for handling caracteristics were not so much car manufacturer related and platform related for OE , then yes, it would be easier ๐Ÿ˜† But I would have a lot less work ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
