• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Daytona and the F3

    CJ, Thanks for F3 rpm info. So appears our 2014 RT's in 5th gear are about same as F3 in 6th gear. F3 3900 rpm in 6th gear is about 500 rpm more than our RT's 3400 rpm in 6th gear. Wow, the F3 acceleration in 5th must be awesome with that gearing!! Sounds like you really enjoyed the 2nd F3...

    Daytona and the F3

    Do you recall what F3 rpm was at 68 mph? I am curious compared to gearing on 2014 RT-S SE6? I ran my 2014 Spyder RT-S SE6 today in 5th gear for about 90 miles at 68 mph, 4,100 rpm as a test. I got 38.3 mpg (115 miles, 3.0 gal gas). Only a little less mpg as running RT in 6th gear. Thanks. Jim
