I had a scare the other day, it proper shit me up. Going into the back of a Mondeo at 90 MPH is not a nice thought. I could have been killed and it's made me think. Knowing the roads, hotspots and speed camera's does not prepare you for the car in from slaming on and having no control and grip.

A lot to be honest. Having a window open causes a lot of drag and as the engine is pretty underpowered for higher speeds it creates more strain and more power is used to maintain a lower speed. If the drag is reduced then obviously the car would accelerate.

Get more power and practise anticipating hazards, and worry more about them than watching your speedo to see what interesting fact todays adventure brings.
