"develops 325 horsepower at 4800 RPM" reminds me of a saying when I was in high school and rode a motorcycle in 1968: "There is no substitute for cubic inches, but jumpin Jesus it hurts when you come down." Then I got back into motorcycling a few years ago and learned there is indeed a substitute for cubic inches. It's a 13,000 RPM redline and good torque the whole way there.

Dan,

 

I think that was replaced somewhere along the way with "The race belongs to the guy with the cubic bucks." Speaking of cubic bucks, spotted this on Mulholland Friday; BMW i8.

Never seen one of them before likely because they're not for sale yet. Maybe it was a press car? You can see just about anything on Mulholland. There's a guy who parks his video camera there just about every week and gets some interesting stuff. He goes by rnicky mouse. Example:

 

That's spelled r n i c k y. Clever, huh?

Never seen one? . . . . . I'd never even heard of one!

 

Yep, very clever. :iagree: There was also a great looking Porsche running back and forth across the same stretch of Mulholland with the i8. I just looked it up; a 50th anniversary 911. Here's a photo I took:
