The Zonda R

The Pagani Zonda R

While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nürburgring in 7:27:82 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. Paired with a quality finish and the attention to detail […]

Why Go Fast?

February 11, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 5 Comments

I’m quite often annoyed by specs that I see for cars, or indeed cars that I see when I am out and about. If something booms past me, inevitably it’ll be going in excess of the speed limit. Now emergency aside, why? Let’s look at this from another angle. Plenty of cars that go quite […]

A Warm Engine

February 10, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed how your engine ‘goes’ a bit better when it’s warmed up? Well, there’s a few things at work but the easiest to explain here is the principle of how the oil lubricates the engine. Cold oil is not very viscous, but as it warms it gets to all areas of the […]

Anatomy Of A Skid – And How To Prevent An Accident

February 8, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment

I’ve normally got pretty excellent car control. This comes from driving a few different cars, experience of different conditions, track days and even go-karting. Nonetheless, in the recent icy weather, I still managed to lose control and skid. I did recover it and was going slowly anyway so there was no real danger. Nonetheless, it […]

The Cadillac CTS-V

February 4, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 7 Comments

Cadillac CTS-V

I have to say, I’m not a huge fan of American cars.  Big lazy engines don’t really do much for me – neither does the usually squishy ride quality.  However, the CTS is known for a harder ride, was honed at the Nurburgring and provided a decent amount of ooomph.  So, when the CTS-V was […]
