B58 vs S58

Time spent above a given rpm is a function of maximum rpm. Time spent above 7,000 when you have 9,000rpm? Every time you accelerate heavily.

While my car spends most of its life below half revs, I bought it to be exciting which is a function of rpm.
Can you short shift the tractor with enough gears? Of course! Is it exhilarating? Absolutely not.

Time spent above a given rpm is a function of the maximum rpm. Hmm…I don’t think you understand a lot of the words that you use or you just don’t make any sense.

Look buddy, I owned an AP1 S2000 for several years and loved that thing. Yes, it was exhilarating revving that car out to its 9000 redline when I did it. However, 99.9% of the time when I was driving that car, it was as slow as my wife’s Corolla. Don’t know anyone who revs the piss out of their car to get up to 25mph. If that is you, you’re an idiot.

My point is, for 99.99999% of street driven cars, it’s engine is not being pushed balls to the wall 99% of the time it is in operation. The B58 with its lowly 7000redline does just fine. However if being able to rev up to 7500 rpm gets your dick hard, you do you. My dick doesn’t need an extra 500 revolutions each minute.

Shidddd my bike stays In the upper range, only low revs that thing sees is stop and go traffic getting to the highway. Besides that she yelling screaming and swooping by lol... 207mph in less then a mile. Shit my test hits I do 202mph.

I'll take a car with linear power and torque that produces a fat mid-range, on a road course, any day. I've had cars that rev to the moon and it's neat, but working to keep those RPM up wasn't always great .. and God forbid I come out of a turn at a speed I'm not geared for.
Fun, but slower

This. I think that's the charm of a high revving engine. It's certainly not ideal for daily driving but it is fun. You really have to get your changes right to be quick and you get severely punished if you don't. Every time I drive my Type R with intent I am forced to improve as a driver.. because if I screw up even slightly, I go from driving a Type R to a cooking model Civic in no time!

I'm sure I'll miss this level of commitment but the oodles of torque the B58 has should make up for it by being a more fun daily, rather than just on a spirited outing.

The torque is SERIOUSLY addicting
