I daily it during the months where there's no salt on the road. It gets use in light snow, rain etc. when I'm in the mood. The 911 Turbo (and Turbo S) have been AWD since the 993 (1993-ish). It's "good" AWD in that it is highly rear-biased and it's possible to slide the rear of the car...

Eh, I used to supercharge smallblocks with no intercooler (or aftercooler) and push 8-9 PSI, good for around 500hp at the wheels in that application with supporting mods (exhaust, etc.)

Right in all cases except that I decided not to do them straight in for a few reasons - A) I really have no desire to mix them and yes I know that I could turn the volume of the ones I'm not using to 0, B) I had all the equipment in question, and C) the amp is not pushing any power to the mixer...

I've been remiss. I added a 1960 watt loudspeaker system along with all my old stereo gear to my workshop. Now I have enough sound pressure in there to make myself completely deaf (not kidding, rated at 127db at one meter at full power). I filmed a brief video of it from the day I got it...

Downtown Kingston today. Turbos loving 13C air. Hope everyone got out either in their sporty car or on their bike. I spotted a couple of friends today on their ADV bikes, South Frontenac Cruisers having their BBQ just a few houses down from me tomorrow.

I drive my car pretty much anywhere including the Cataraqui mall. Just takes some planning where to park to avoid door dings. FYI I'm not parked on much of an angle in this shot, the rear is a pretty good amount wider than the front. As for power, I find that nearly 700hp is a nice way to...

There are some good, and not so expensive fixes for the IMS issue. The best one absolutely bathes that bearing set in high pressure oil. It's unfortunate that this issue has been a problem. Fortunately I have a 9A1 which is an evolved Mezger motor, and it will survive just about anything...

This bike is owned by a fellow in Texas, so probably not.

185hp/105tq even better. :D Just about right, in my opinion. Leave traction control on. ;) That said one of the best times I had at Deal's Gap was on a CBR 250RR. 18K redline, I seem to remember... but it was panting for breath at that point. That bike fit into those corners like a hand...

The thing is, that extra 20%+ RPM range of the 600 at similar power output (at the wheel) would mean you could gear the 600 20% steeper, and that translates to a similar amount more torque (20% more torque) delivered to the tire at the same road speed. There's more to acceleration than just a...

Apparently there will be at least one more R1. They sold a fair amount of the last generation but the performance of their competitors have really left them in the dust. To be honest, I found the latest gen R1 to be compact and pretty easy to ride at a 7/10ths pace which is all I'd want one...

Useful at Mosport. Set to 300kph, brake for a corner now and then, resume.

Not accused. Paul is a personal friend of mine and I've known this bike back into the early 2010s. I even have video of this bike on track from 2012 when he crashed it on turn 11 at Shannonville right in front of me. The wheels were done because of the damage (that's Paul in the one-piece...

I think you guys saying it's not illegal should consider that they put a new dash on this bike so that the original mileage around 100K was reduced to 30K. That's a straight-up scam and remains illegal.

My RSV4 does that in 1st gear. Literally.

This bike probably has valvetrain problems. At the very least it has a bad camchain tensioner. It's been crashed a couple of times (at least once on Shannonville) and has been tracked probably a dozen times with Paul. Paul sold it as-is with the understanding that the bike may come unglued...

This is my friend Paul's bike and it's been for sale by three different people (maybe a scammer crew) since he sold it for $1500 a couple of weeks ago. They put a slip-on, a new dash and what looks to be an aftermarket key on it - possible that it was actually stolen and is being sold by the...

The area's been hit that hard at least twice in the last 20 years. But I'm probably abandoning the area, sadly, after all that time. The number of high horsepower cars on that road taking chances with their lives and those around them have vastly increased. And while it seems like "Max Wrist"...

I'm amazed by it. Would love to ride one on track. Like many people, I'm done with full-on superbikes on the road. The Super Duke may not be as quick but it's more fun.

This is what they do in Europe, which supposedly we've "copied." Only, of course, we didn't put in the warning signs. As for 30kph, sure let's limit all travel to 30kph. Great idea. People will survive, but then again people won't be able to get anywhere and will have blood pressure like a...
