First good hard drive

Post by Vulpes »

I took her out onto the backroads of kurrajong today for a good run. i was reminded of what an incredibly underated chassis the starion has. It was obviously way advanced for its time and is still an incredibly impressive drive even by todays standards. The way it turned in, the way it sits so flat and puts the power down coming out of corners. It was an absolute hoot !!!

I've missed something there???

But I gotta say, the Yanks missed out on this...a wonderfully balanced and refined motor car...the 2L Starion!

SATA is a type of computer hard drive.

You're missing out on the torque of the G54B!!

I've also been drinking.

SATA drives were the first serious improvement over old IDE drives and thus considered the first "good" hard drives.

I drove my first G54B engined starion today and must admit I was very impressed, I really like the torque at the bottom end and mid-range. It was very nice.
