    Dyno night

    Really wanted to see what were the power gains from adding an M8 badge so I took the car to the dyno, I thought about adding V12 badge but heard that might be an over kill on power and brake the dyno so just stuck with M8 badge.

    Brilliant - but V12 badges have to be fitted in pairs to keep the 50-50 balance.....

    My dual V12 badges only gained me just 12HP...not happy but decided to leave them on since 12HP is better than no gain. @:-)

    Wrong badge Chris, you need an M8 badge as you can see power gains are substantial!

    How are you passing smog in this glorious and draconian state? Jerry isn't asking, but I'm sure he wants to know.

    That was cool to see your windows automatically close as you gained speed. I remember reading the figure but couldn't find it in search. At what speed does this occur?

    Recently, I found this feature worked perfectly in my coupe. Exactly at 100 mph. As said, "pretty cool".
