Stiffer is usually better, but only to a point because if you get it too stiff your traction will suffer. And if you change one end of the car without touching the other end, the relative difference

285. 91 octane gas (score: 1)

I noticed today that the stations I stopped at were selling 91 octane as their "premium" gas. Of course the price was the same as what 92 used to be, about $0.2 more than 87. Is this some silly new

Thanks for the link! Why are they doing this only in California? The fact that it is specific to our home state makes me suspect some silly new laws or social engineering going on behind the scenes.

Yup, a perfectly flat torque curve is ideal for autocross. But electric power, when you include the batteries, still doesn't have the power to weight ratio of gasoline. This is especially noticeable

My understanding is that more voltage requires the cells to be in series, which reduces charge capacity (compared to being in parallel, where they produce lower voltage but have higher capacity). Pow

Yes and because of their flat torque curve, electrics need only a fraction of the power of a gas engine to be comparable. However, the weight of the batteries is probably going to keep the technology
