My 99 MX-5 used to get blown all over the place, but my 04 RX8 is very stable at high speeds.

It's not unattractive, and I've had ladies give it approving looks, but it's certainly not a real looker like the FD was.

As far as I can tell, in mechanics shock, impulse, and impact resistance are all the same.

And yes, you're right, it's tensile strength, among other properties. Weight in particular.

Completely. They make cars out of carbon fiber for it's stress resistance, not its shock resistance.

Carbon fiber is a brittle material with high tensile strength.

I never claimed the Renesis was a 2.0. It's a 2.6. It's still a small, high strung, naturally aspirated engine, though.
