Yup, I stand corrected. Sorry!

How the hell did I not notice that? I freaking looked at the site before I posted. Perhaps too much -->

I will say, if you read the link to the "competition use only" on the BMS products, it is pretty clearly directed to the CA laws. They are a CA company and probably have to mark it as such.

Semantics coming...

And FWIW, I wouldn't call 5 seconds to 60 "fast" either. There are cars that run in the 2's at this point, many in the 3's and tons in the 4's. Heck, even a stock 335 runs 4.7-8 or so. I think the term "fast" should be used to describe cars on the faster end of the spectrum. Call me crazy If you start calling 6 seconds to 60 fast, we run out of adjectives to use on cars that run it twice as fast as that.

I think what is fast changes with the times, which is perhaps unfair. If I had to ballpark my personal definition...I'd say at least low to mid 4's to 60, but more importantly, a low 12 second 1/4 at, say, 115+ mph is just starting to get into the realm of "fast".

We have a 400 bhp 135 and a 380 bhp X1. Both are pretty quick. The 135 I might describe to someone as "pretty fast", but it would depend who I was talking too.
