Blah blah - 'they' are trying to control me, blah blah. I suppose you will be moaning about ABS next, or catalysts, or power steering. Keep shouting at the sky...

Which totally defeats the object of emissions controls - they must default to on at startup - which is exactly what they do. You are lucky there is an off switch at all! Start/Stop: Making the Most of Just Hanging Around (roadandtrack.com)

And again. Getting boring now. We all know why stop/start is fitted and the benefits. You keep banging your political injustice drum :clap:

Not sure re S650 but manual cars can and do have stop/start systems as other Ford cars do. It really is something and nothing, I have driven loads of cars with stop/start (Ford generally have a good system but not always the case for other makers) and it is completely seamless. The engine is...

Exactly. There will be a 10PS difference between crate engines anyway. 10PS at 7k rpm is maybe 3PS at 3k rpm = completely undetectable to a driver.

Well if you had half a clue you would realise that diesel vehicles have very long gearing meaning the torque at the wheels is not as huge as you might imagine. Torque determines acceleration, power determines top speed - simple. Drive a 200PS Honda VTEC screamer to understand why torque is so...

Then don't buy it - simple. Then you will have nothing to moan about.

Firstly it is torque that actually matters more than top end power on the road, but the reasons are to do with European noise and emissions regulations in Euro7. No propaganda just reality!

Erm, have you heard of Euro 7 and the sales percentages for EV/ICE? The cars cost more to build and be grateful there is a naturally aspirated V8 coupe for sale at all.

First RHD cars are being made soon apparently, maybe some of these will find their way to the UK as demo cars as well as Australia?

So predictable! Stop / start infringes civil rights shocker :crackup:

Do you have the active exhaust? Do you have launch control? (manual only?) Rev match is manual only? So if you have an auto without an active exhaust you will not have the other options

Unlikely to help as was probably not moving waiting to turn and then only creeping forward. Sounds like the other car hit him.

More drivel Methinks you are a troll

What is? - Come on, try more than just 3 words to explain yourself. If you want to know the energy required to keep an object such as a car moving at a constant speed, then momentum has nothing to do with it. Momentum = mass x velocity, so to maintain a speed you need to keep momentum the...

If you wrote things in a complete way rather than just bits of random information it would be easier. Don't agree with your overly simplistic assertions above. No evidence presented for your 'opinion' either - please provide information that EV's are heinous at constant speed driving (which...

45+ what? 65+ what? Which car are you talking about? Honestly you just post drivel

There are now some PHEV's with around 100km real ranges including the BMW X5 50e In the Kuga PHEV/FHEV there is always a blend of electric and ICE in hybrid mode (very similar transmission to the Toyota system), especially with the CC on, with regenerative braking on downhill sections which is...

Blah blah I'm not wasting any more time on your childish statements - goodbye

Again not a sentence - try writing in English
