Andrew did mention it , tho I did think you would use a phone and ring me rather than the " wait for webster to become psychic and find out that way " 
I'm sure something can be arranged

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

It was going to be more of a "wait until I see Webster in person next time and ask him then"

I've found that if I am racing in an event where I regularly go over 135kph then the C56 seems a bit slower, where if all the racing is under 135kph it is definitely faster.
Reasons being that it takes about 0.5 seconds for me to change up a gear and if racing up to 150kph I get better acceleration at the top of 3rd on a C52 than 4th in a C56... with a C52 I don't have to change up to 4th to get to 150kph.
The difference in responsiveness with 3rd gear in the 100-130kph area is like night and day.
