Chaparral - oh wait they're retired. ; -)

Also, one caveat on my manual on road course comments. Since the HP drops off (like falling off a cliff) after 6500 RPM on the 135, I wonder if an upshift wouldn't be inidicated before redline regardless. It'll be interesting to see some real world results.
