Was doing some development work today, and in the process I decided to put my car back to the normal RICA tune. To be fair, I think I actually prefer it to the sports tune. It's smoother, has more linear power delivery, better traction, and just generally nicer to drive than the sports tune. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have the shear grunt of the sports tune, nor does it have the same aggresive performance so ultimately it's not as "mad" to drive, but it's still very fast in a refined way. It's a slightly revised version of software too, so I'll be doing some dyno testing with it and let you know the results.

Speaking of results - can you email or post up the late Felicity's dyno chart.

Last time you asked me for that, you decided to launch the C70 into space! I think your dyno chart is jinxed!!! :)
