VCS sport allows you to get the tail out

VSC sport AND SPORT activated at the same time in "M" mode allows an even greater angle before intervention

i have played around with this a lot lol... my brake fluid is pretty dark ATM....
Thanks, but I'm really interested in facts, not educated guesses obtained through seat of the pants. The word precisely was bolded, so I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
For example, the reason I asked John is that I'm still curious about a previous dyno graph for an auto (was posted on facebook but has since been removed so I won't bother linking) that showed a serious drop off in power on the upper end of the rev range and I've been wondering whether sports mode may have played a role in that as well (or whether it was likely some other variable).

So i ran across this little tidbit


Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) and Fueling Infrastructure Tax Credit
The state offers an income tax credit of 50% of the cost of converting a vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel, 50% of the incremental cost of purchasing an original equipment manufacturer AFV, and 50% of the cost of constructing an alternative fueling station. Only dedicated AFVs registered in Louisiana may receive the tax credit. Alternatively, a taxpayer may take a tax credit of 10% of the cost of the motor vehicle, up to $3,000. For the purpose of this incentive, alternative fuels include compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (propane), biofuel, biodiesel, methanol, ethanol, electricity, and any other fuels that meet or exceed federal clean air standards
source http://www.afdc.energy.gov/laws/laws/LA/tech/3252

So would this whole package count towards the deduction of converting to E85? lol

I called John, I text John, I was told by John I would have something soon before the car leaves.
I don't have a STG1 93 Automatic Transmission Flash

You sir are mistaken.
Geez, sorry. I wasn't reffering to you in general, I just know of a few autos that he is testing and threads have been made from them.

Nice Looking Good John!

Think we might find out the limits of these motors soon. So far so good.
