My Mint 964's 4.0 Engine is Complete - First Drive and it's INSANE!

[@indorider]

As I've gotten older I've realised that top speed means nothing. The torque, sound and handling are everything. That's what feels good.

[@mnypit]

Agreed. How you go fast is more important than how fast you go on the street.

[@BboyMobster]

Agreed 100 percent. It’s nothing like spinning the tires down low. It adds so much excitement.

[@TheTechnoaddict]

That's why i'm still driving my manual hatchback with sports suspension so i feel every bump in the road and what the tyres are doing.

[@dougrippe33]

Absolutely, I recently purchased a 2006 R53 Cooper S, and while it may not be the highest HP car, it is an absolute blast to drive. It has a nice amount of low-mid range torque with the SC and kinda falls off when you get higher in the RPM band. But that’s actually been a blessing in disguise. I don’t have to ring it out when I want to have a little fun, I’ll go to about 4700-5000 and just start rowing thru the gears and it pulls great and the SC whine is nice as well. Only plan on doing suspension and exhaust upgrades, maybe a reduced pulley, upgrade pads and rotors and call it done. I’ll take a car that I can use every bit of instead of something that has an ungodly amount of power and try to keep it under control on the road. These are road cars, not race cars.

[@Drgoldthumb]

Top speed is fun… once or twice. :-) then you never top it out again. Lol. A car that makes you smile at any speed is the best car

​@@WaximusPrime21 Quite possible there is some shared knowledge and parts! There has been multiple engineering firms like Williams, Ed Pink RE, Swindon Powertrain, Cosworth and Rothsport Racing that take or took part in the creation of engine packages and components for them. If I recall correctly Singer and Tuthill are close through Williams.

The audio of the 5 minute Mark is jacked up when he's explaining about the stock heads and why they're horrible I'd really like to know what he said

[@speedy83]

I'm paraphrasing a little but I think he pretty much says "we did the casting to get away from the factory design. The factory design doesn't have the capabilities of putting a good port configuration in. Our ports are a lot higher/faster velocity. These [stock ones] crack a lot, we put the material in all the right areas - there's at least a quarter inch of wall thickness after we put our largest port in here which is about 47mm. A lot of guys like to weld these up on the sides here to get more beef combustion chamber because they have this problem here. So we went straight across and created a half inch deck. Spring pockets are thicker, ports are thicker. Cooling capabilities are better - we went a bit thinner on the fins and added more fins."
