Read a story about the Veryon a while back. All the guff about 200kmh and over 1000hp came straight from the chief exec with no real backing from the company. Once he'd said it however they then had to work out how to do it.
While testing the the wind tunnel they were looking for ways to reduce drag and imporve the top spead. So, they took the wing mirrors off. The car started to take off as a result, the downforce and drag from the mirrors was the only thing holding it down"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

By "position to buy" I mean without selling the Wife, Kids, dog, house etc.Comment
