She wasn't getting home last night I don't think. Molly Cameron put out a rescue all from the airport last night. My shop is about 20-30 minutes from ORD with traffic. It was nasty here last night.

I appreciate the graphs, but if you have access to numbers that would help. I agree it matters very little, but races - esp the TT's are won by very very little. Also, the last few years UCI bikes are heavier than they were, as are the wheels. I would expect a pro riding a WW bike to get up Alpe D'Huez a wee faster than riding his team bike in a TT. The difference in a cassette weight can DQ a rider in a UCI race, so it matters to UCI at least.

She arrived around 2:00 got on the bus east with no issues. Said it was cold and snowing - and loved it, but she is not a cyclist.

Lol. The late '90s Supras had one of the most insanely hot-roddable engines ever made, the 2jz. With comparatively little money, I have seen them pull well over 1100hp on a dynamometer, which is a very different proposition that modern car makers' hyped-up bhp claims. I'm not suprised the Supra ate the lambo, it probably had double the horsepower, and as long as the driver knew how to get it to the road...bye bye!

My current engine is running 250K+ miles and still runs like butter. I'm expecting about 300+ before swapping out engines to the upgrade... just have to make sure my wife doesn't kill me because she keeps getting speeding tickets driving the same. And yeah, those Supras are some of the most sexy cars still... they have investment value actually, a small class.

Back to the OT..
I just picked up a second hand Scott CR1 with Sram Rival. When the spring comes i'll compare it to my Emonda SLR with Sram Red.
It should be interesting to feel the difference.
