| Re: Anyone 100% buying the day they arrive? Delta wing airplanes are conditionally stable. Without the electronics they would not be hard to control, they'd be impossible.
Very high power cars can be handled by a much wider population with the advent of ever better electronics. By intependently controlling the behaviours of the 4 contact patches of the car they are able to do things no driver could, no matter how skillfull. High power automatics are easier for the average Joe to control than a manual because the system can add clutch engagement, torque management and upshifting to its array of stratigies.
The day will soon come if it is not here already where an 800 hp car can be controlled more easily than a 400 hp car of a few years ago, yet still yield the performance advantages of the higher power. |
