Mazda Miata MX-5 (Hard top)

Mazda’s new MX-5 with the power of folding hard top is easily the best Miata yet. The MX-5 roadster already has one of the most simple soft top, so i won’t really looking for replacement. It is also the risk with the resulting complexity and weight of that hard top could loosen Miata’s focused reflexes, in fact the hard top does add about 70 pounds of extra weight. But the average driver doesn’t feel any difference in the miata’s performance.

To counter the added weight mazda had to make some changes at their front end and on rear spring. A notable exception in this mazda from the later one was measure interiors, at 70mph with the hard top the mazda is much quieter and more civilized inside. Changing from a cozy hard top to an open top sports car is a simple almost effortless two step task, up or down the whole production takes place in under 12 seconds.

Unbelievably trunk space is not compromised and a hard top MX-5 has a little more overall cargo volume. Thanks to a slightly higher rear deck let. Base price for a miata with the power of attractable top is about 1800$ more as it is similar to soft top miata, with the added comfort, convenience and true convertibility are more than worth it. Thankfully the addition of folding hard top doesn’t noticeably change the MX-5 miata’s character. It is still one of the best roadsters around and its latest version is frankly the best miata yet.

Michael was born in a small town of Germany and from the early years of his life he wanted to be a race driver. So he often goes for go carting in the nearby go carting circuit. His family was not so wealthy so that he can continue to drive and fulfill his passion of driving. So his mother started to work on the go carting circuit canteen to earn some money and his father has a small garage so that their son can fulfill his dream. After collecting some cash Michael’s father made a cheap go cart car for his son which was enough for the little Schumacher to show his talent. Michael started with this new go cart made by his father with cheap parts and goes on victory most of the times on the track. One time a car company’s person saw Michael’s driving and he was amassed to saw Michael flying through the laps and decided to sponsor Michael Schumacher.

Michael now took part in GP series with his team and flagged many victories there also and thus at last transmitted to F1 Racing with Jordan ford team and recorded a good time with them and some victories also many conflicts with people also. In 1996, Schumacher joined Scuderia Ferrari S.P.A., a team which had last won the Drivers' Championship with Jody Scheckter in 1979 and which had not won the Constructors' Cup since 1983. At that time Ferrari was not having good times with their car and merely got any win so Michael never thought that he would be joining this team which has many problems with their cars, But after taking with ferrari’s Chairman and Ferrari persons he get a different felling with them and thus ultimately join ferrari S.P.A team.

                         The day Michael joined Ferrari S.P.A team like the problems of Ferrari cars ended that day only and the car was giving superb performance with his mew driver Michael Schumacher and then the red color of ferrari was just attached with Michael Schumacher that the never left the team after that and has won Seven Championships (1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004) and five consecutive wins in his full driving career which is a record.

Yamaha FZ - s (Speedy, Stable, Stylish)


                 When we think of a real muscle bike in today date it will be the yamaha's FZ 16 who worth this title and now it will its new hard model FZ - s which has got its look from global FZ series . The part which adds star to its personality and looks, making it more impressive in the view of people's because a real muscle should have a large tyres (i.e. ground clearance), a open body type and good graphics in which the Yamaha bike makers have given full interest this time and the first time in India. The sales should gradually increase like wise the new color scheme has also introduced by the Yamaha corporation.

              Each and every part of FZ16 has been designed with a lot of detailed attention and careful thought. This ultimate degree of perfection means even the slightest feature has not been overlooked. Only Yamaha ensures this kind of craftsmanship. 

  The rider and the machine share a feeling of oneness, and from different angles the impression is different. This is particularly because the finest components have been used in its precise manufacturing. The FZ16 possesses both a rough and brutish expression as well as a certain subtlety. This high quality masterpiece will without doubt become a rage for the next generation.

Engine & Features

                 FZ16 is powered by a 153cc, air cooled, 4 stroke, SOHC engine which generates maximum power of 14 Bhp @ 7500 rpm with maximum torque of 13.6 Nm @ 6000 rpm. The 153cc engine of this bike is designed for the urban commute. The broad tyres, low center of gravity and high torque at low rpm makes it a breeze to drive in city traffic.

       The bike covers the world standard 0-60 kmph sprint in just 5.5 seconds. The mid range thrust and the highly tuned throttle responses are designed to give you the feel of an ultra-powerful bike in the urban ride. The meters on the FZ - s are installed in a Full Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The speedometer, tachometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and other indicators are set in optimum position to keep the field of vision clear. Also, the engine starting signal is an example of the spirit of innovation.

       The steel fuel tank with a plastic resin outer cover takes advantage of the freedom of shaping that plastic provides, giving the tank cover a powerful shape with modulations suggestive of the muscular body of an athlete. To give a sense of volume to the machine, an external diameter of 35mm is adopted in a two-layer type exhaust to minimize the effect of heat on the pipe. 

       The layout features a large-volume primary character on the underside of the crankcase. The muffler is an irregular shaped tapered type mid-ship muffler. A Monocross rear suspension unit provides 120 mm of wheel travel, while optimized oil and damping valve specs help ensure agile running performance and handling. It inhibits bottoming while riding with a tandem passenger as well as providing a very comfortable ride. The petrol tank, silensor, the yellow-gold plated rear shock absorber and fat tyres give enough clues to the true strength of the Yamaha FZ - s motorcycle - torque that is a bit higher than the 160 Apache RTR and tuned for acceleration and mid-range than outright top speed. FZ16 gets its DNA from global FZ series of Yamaha motorcycles. Fat tyres at the rear, beefy tank, beefy front fork compliment the FZ16’s muscular character, which has become a huge hit among the young crowd in India.

Variants, Shades & Price

Yamaha FZ16 is available in two models: FZ16 & FZ-S. FZ16 is available for 65000.00 and FZ-S is priced at Rs. 67000.00.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI

The 2008 edition of Subaru WRX STI possesses more refined ride and also a new look but the truth is all the changes make it a better performance car even if you are not a fan of hash backs any enthusiast has to admit the STI looks down right me with that monsters hood scoop and bulging fenders. The switch to a hash back body style has another benefit the swept back roof line and shoulder overhangs improve aerodynamics stability and handling agility. Subaru said the changes are necessary to keep the sti comparative in WRC rally. The more advantage of new shape is extra cargo space and a seat split function so that you can also use this STI as a family car, the interior is spacious a telescopic steering wheel and high adjustable seat accommodates drivers of all sizes. The seats of New STI provide both comfort and support. But this doesn't mean that STI has gone soft it still has the expected punch when you put your foot on the gas.

The new STI is turbocharged 2.5ltr flap-four delivers 305 horsepower. Its 290 pound feel of torque just as before but maximum torque now kicks in sooner at 4000rpm. Squeezing the throttle produces impressive thrust that we can steep in the rev range when the engine races straight for the rev line. The 2008 STI accelerates 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds. Subaru recommends 93octane petrol for best performance which is not easily available in countries. Thanks to all wheel drive wider 245 40-R 18 rubbers and a new double wish bone in the rear suspension. At 72mph WRX STI is quicker through the cones than the last Mitsubishi Evo which impressed me a lot, so quicker turning of a car is amazing when you see it practically, this will surely get you off from your seats if you are watching it while sitting on a chair. The STI's Stopping power has also improved i.e. its stopping distance from 60mph is a remarkable 106feet.The cars revised differential is a little more complex. Three computer regulated automatic settings are now provided instead of one all the familiar 6way manual adjustment continuous to be available for competition situation. The different settings are useful but they may be more than most people will need or even want.

All this performance and technology comes at a price the STI's base price is 135000$ which is unloaded with navigation and BBS wheels which came in just under 40000$additional if you want these but the new STI's is worth it, It performs better than the other cars in the range in most performance test and feels better on the road, it is also more useful and comfortable inside. True the all new WRX STI has lost a little of its edge but in the end the car proves you can have stunning performance without being harsh.






"The STI has grown up you should too."
