Ours ARE faster than yours for a number of reasons .....

1) we have (...)I could go on .......

You DO go on James.

Seriously though. The NA S's are faster, especially in the corners. Three reasons: The gravity is greater... more downforce, and there's always a tailwind, and finally we use gas not petrol... works better.

Incorrect assumption I am afraid John ...... more downforce in a corner does NOT necessarily equal a faster corner ..... the law of diminishing returns demonstrates that there is an optimum amount of downforce which allows the car to corner at maximum speed, further downforce will REDUCE the speed due to friction and resistance issues .......

Since, along with VTEC (which the Japanese export) the Japanese cars also come with CVGE (continuously variable gravitational effect) (which they do not export) our cars are FAR superior to yours in every way ..... AND we have the steering wheel on the correct side of the car ....

I don't think Honda is going to be very happy that you told us that James.

James, I'm assuming you're joking about the downforce discussion right?

Ours will be faster because America has much higher concentrations of fully volatilized chlorinated hydrocarbon volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like perchloroethylene (PCE) and aromatic hydrocarbon VOCs like methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), expressed in micrograms per liter (ug/L) that will inexorably find their way into ti fuel injection, raising octane (OCT).

Apparently, news of the small block Ford powered S5800 isn't on the street yet.

I think George needs to join SPA (Society for the Prohibition of Acronyms)
