Erm ... the waves with tighter dimensions are much higher energy.
Boasting about a higher elapsed time at a drag race will make people step slowly away.

OH but as per everything on this forum the higher the numbers the better (read faster) it is!!!!!!!

You have no idea how much I was hoping that somebody would point that out so I could use my follow up!

He's Canadian so we give him some leeway. You should see us golf together.

YOU were the one that was supposed to call me out on that (perfectly aware of the physics involved thank you very much) but you screwed up and I had to wait for somebody else to play the straight man!

So Whiteout is more powerful, as it packs all the wavelengths together rather than picking out a small slice of waves.

Cool.

EXACTLY (If we ignore the graph from the original post which of course was breaking the colours out by wavelength)
By that same token Raven drivers are pretty much screwed!

I just could not resist the hidden poke at the "higher horse power #s = better car" crowd that the misuse of the graph presented.

If you dont absolutely hate your POS civic, then you probably dont need a FRS. Sorry, no offense, but I had a 2001 civic for a few months, and it sucked. Also, please dont get a FRS and drive it like an old lady. 100mph feels like 60 and it revs to 8 grand for a reason.

..but as for buying a new car.. it's so nice. this was my first cherry car too, and the toyota dealership was friendly, transparent, and easy to work with. They also gave me almost twice the value of my trade in when I haggled for a few days before commiting to buying the car. Maybe a scion tc or corrolla sport might fit you well. good luck.

Awwww, I really messed up, then. I didn't want to come off like an actual d!ck. The thought occurred to me but you had a good funny going.

If you want a real laugh, we should go golfing together. I suck.

I love golf but the puck is almost the same size as the hole so it is harder then your version!
