As the person in your avatar will attest, it's all about entry speed, not power

I'm pretty sure it's more about bore then stroke.

This is going to be even more awkward if Karen turns out to be a man.

Actually, if you really want to be remembered separately from the pack of also-rans, it's about both

No doubt! But make sure you are wearing proper protective gear at that pace...

The firstest with the mostest generally wins .

I know what you mean. When I had the 951 at the track it was so good in sweepers . But then when there was a tite 1st gear turn and then back up through the gears onto a long straight I was back sliding . The Boss dont have that problem .

Dave, you're not pretty enough to be my co-drover, but she is!
