Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Would be way overkill for something as small as a Caterham. The fastest Caterhams already come with ~300 HP engines.

They're suicidal enough to drive as it is lol.

Needs money for car parts :P

I've had the chance to drive on of the less powerful (180hp IIRC) models around a track for a few laps, great fun as long as you're paying complete attention. I'd love to have the chance to drive a 620R lol.

I booked a day at a track thru some experience day company thing and also drove a Gallardo there too almost 3 years ago now. First thing I ever 'drove' was my parents old EP3 Type S back in '09.

Nah, scrapes everywhere as well lol

 

the way the guy who owns it drives as well, he'll pull the exhaust clean off the downpipe if he isnt careful. he says a slight lip and instead of slowing down and taking it at an angle he just tries to launch over it haha
