for me these rally races are quite dangerous of course it is sensational how these drivers can handle the cars... or not? you often see quite hard accidents on ralleys.

maybe the spoiler is out of time

What a great site! Hmm, too bad i wont be at a house with high speed for 2 more weeks, but it will be worth it!

Back to the stealth; it is essentially a race car for the road, a la Ultima GTR. I like the stealth more, though. Once again, light weight is the aim of the game, and dedication to speed. By that, I mean it makes no marketing comprimeses (ever notice how almost all cars upshift just past 60mph? They would be faster overall if they didnt, just not faster to 60, which is what markets a car).

If you upshift (out of 2nd/3rd) just past 60, it doesnt mean youve maximised the 0-60 sprint for sure. If you've let the car rev to the line (or just before it), as it seems youre implying, you will have lost some acceleration and missed the ideal gearchange point.

Your point does generally stand up though
