[s-cars] Air leak or turbo whoosh?

[Bruce]

It's all about driving properly, not driving fast. As they say at the track,
smoothness is all, speed comes by itself once you're smooth.

My daughters will also be professionally instructed when the blessed
(cursed??) day arrives, and know how to react in emergencies, etc. But they
can do that, as Taka says, in any car, as it's not about HP but about skill.
They do not need and will not get a high performance car until they are
truly ready for it and they buy it themselves, as then they'll have more
incentive not to trash it.
