Just curious, What is the tax on a car like this cost in Hong Kong? I have friens in Taiwan and Malasa, I heard that tax on some cars are 200% more? Is that true?

850,
I used to be in USA when I am in college.
We pay almost double the price(about US$55000) for my S-2000 thanwhat you guys are paying(US$32000).
You guys are really lucky in the states.
:}
P.S. Do you own a volvo?

No! But two FIAT 850 Spyders! (one yellow, one red with original removable hardtop. Used to have 7 of them at one time, but most of them rusted out.) I love the open tops! Also a yellow Porsche 914 (the top can also be removed!). And my 2001 S2000 is Yellow as well!

AVI... the advice above ... to keep your foot in it was really dead on. The change over to the other cam lobes is there above 6k at part throttle operation... but it does not do much... the engine needs to be given the gas to use all that increased breathing...

Yeah, you gotta keep the foot mashed to the floor to really hear it. If you don't, you probably won't be able to tell.
